I lived in Sydney for a year in 1983 and saw some of your locals then, but it wasn't until 1989 when I was in Sydney for my brother's wedding that I got to experience seeing and feeling (via the ground) hundreds of them down at Wilson's Promontory National Park. They're incredible creatures.Here's one of the locals - a bit far away to get a good pic with my phone. A family of 4 hopped past but I was too slow.
