Probably not a big deal for old Australia hands but we enjoyed it. Walking down by the creek around dusk, we saw what looked like a tree stump. On closer viewing, we saw that it was a wallaby, chewing slowy on some grass and watching us (and dogs) very carefully. About 2-3 feet tall and quite dark colored, though the light wasn't that good. Perhaps a red-tailed wallaby? Here's a picture (not ours):
Once we went a little closer, s/he bounded off and the dogs belatedly paid some attention. Too late!

Awww! What a wonderful morning suprise. Up here in Darwin, the wallabies only come out at dawn and at dusk...and they're so nervous, you can't get very close at all before they bound away!
