🇦🇺 Australia | Watching Wild Kangaroos Brawl in a Melbourne Park 🦘
Forget zoos—this hidden gem lets you see wild kangaroos for FREE, just a short trip from the city! (Shoutout to a local student who tipped me off~) 📍 Location: Westerfolds Park 🚌 By Bus: Take Route 905, alight at Fitzsimons Lane/Porter St (~30min ride + 10min walk via GPS). 🅿️ By Car: Navigate to Westerfolds Park Car Park 5. What to Expect: Within 5 minutes of entering, you’ll spot grassy fields dotted with kangaroos! They’re semi-friendly—munching on grass while side-eyeing humans with hilarious suspicion. 🥷🦘 Golden hour (around 4 PM) is prime time—roos are out feasting (and fighting!). Their kickboxing matches are straight out of a meme—thank god for Live Photos! 🤼♂️📸 The park itself is a serene escape: lush bushes, roo families, and sunset views perfect for all-day picnics. ⚠️ Pro Tips: Skip rainy days—roos stay hidden! ☔ No mama roos with joeys this time (sad emoji), but still a 10/10 experience. #Melbourne #KangarooSpotting #WildAustralia #WeekendVibes #TravelDiaries
