“I could not eat a kangaroo.”

And Ogden Nash (1902-1971) continues:
“But many fine Australians do.
Those with cookbooks as well as boomerangs
Prefer him in tasty kangaroo-meringues.”

I didn’t really take any decent photos today. This is from September 2023 when I spent a few days in the NSW Mid-North Coast about 400 kms north of Sydney.

Fantastic - glad we got to see it.

[Susan Wakely]

Lovely golden tones.

Kangaroo was my favourite meat when I lived in Sydney. Loved its gamey, lean taste. My cousin, who also lives in Sydney and is a chef said "we give it the dog!" I like the backlighting in this golden shot

[Corinne C]

Amazing light

[Stephomy]

Hahaha great quote. As a professional baker, I've made a lot of interesting meringues, but never one with kangaroo.

I love the way they are lit up in that light. Better to see them like that than in a dessert.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

nice lighting

[carol white]

A lovely capture

[Peter Dulis]

lovely

[Margaret Brown]

Very nice capture

[Babs]

Lovely shot. I have tried kangaroo but wasn't keen on it. We must be the only country in the world that eats the animals on its Coat of Arms.

[Judith Johnson]

Such wonderful sunlight. Love the poem

[Carole Sandford]

Beautifully sunlit Roos. I will try most foods once, but it’s not on the menu here.

[Shutterbug]

I never thought about it before, but I don’t think I would care to eat one either.

[Pat Knowles]

Well I think that one’s is great. Love that light & those kangaroos pasturing. If I was hungry enough I m sure I would eat one!

[Jerzy]

Great capture. Pass on the kangaroo thank you.

[Phil Howcroft]

Thanks for the much appreciated comments. What you can’t see is that it was blowing a gale on this headland. I’m surprised there were kangaroos at all!!

[John Falconer]

@carole_sandford @casablanca
I’ve eaten kangaroo years ago. Didn’t like it much. And eat everything!
When I was growing over 60 years ago a lot of dog owners fed kangaroos to their dogs. We did. And cooking it stunk the house out.

[Harry J Benson]
