So...I have had my trail cam out for weeks, setting it up in different places to see what wildlife is about around here. There are quite a lot of feral pests, pigs, deer, foxes and cats, which is not great but also plenty of Eastern Grey Kangaroos, Walleroos and Swamp Wallabies. Today however I hit the jackpot! So pleased about this!!!!
