From my sons from door.

If you think of patting a wild kangaroo just bear in mind that almost always they'll hop away very quickly. However, occasionally a male kangaroo MAY attack you. They'll lean back on their tail & grab you. The hind leg will come up and possibly disembowel you!
Here in the north of Australia (north east in particular) we've had an unbelievable wet season. Down south in many parts it's unbelievably dry.
My son lives in a northern suburb of Melbourne. It's so dry that many kangaroos & wallabies are venturing into the suburbs looking for grass to eat.
Kangaroos & cars don't go well together - I ought to know - I've hit so many over the years but had a bull (roo) bar on the 4wd. Sheared bolts off once when I hit a big roo.

It’s extremely bad
Friend in southern part of my state (Like 1250 mikes away - my state is two and a half times the size of Texas) - so little rain for 3 years his cattle are dying. Only good thing is that the roos have shifted in so the wild dogs & dingoes attack them instead of his cattle.
Two extremes laright
My son Craig lives way down south in another state and it’s so dry
Here in the far north
Man oh man what a wet season
I think 175 days in a row it rained

Yes you are right - Australia as a poem goes is a continent of contrast with flooded plains and dry as my humor next year
 
Dr Ray best wishes you and all of your countrymen be they hot and dry or flooded.
 
Thank you very much
I appreciate that
 
Yikes! Too cold for me.
 
I’ll get to hunt Sambar one day
 
Not when my son lives in Victoria and I’d fly
 
Craig has access to sone hunting areas
So hopefully I can go one day
 
Don't be too sure. There was one on the news a few days ago running down Whitehorse Rd Box Hill (Melbourne suburb)
 
Sambar deer seem to be exploding in numbers now. Tasmania has a similar problem with fallow deer.
