Hi Alan

I live in Derbyshire, and I had heard about these wallabies. It is amazing how they have survived. I bet the man got a real shock when he saw one hopping along :shock: :D

Here's a link to the photos of it.

    The husband and I went to Derbyshire once. It was December and we stayed for a week. We drove up on the Saturday in glorious sunshine. Woke up Sunday morning and it was foggy. It stayed foggy until the following Saturday when we drove home - in glorious sunshine. I have heard that it's a lovely place but we didn't see it.

    I do not know what kangaroos eat.

    I thought you were talking about my kids for a minute there - my brother calls them the Kang-aroo Cousins :-)
