Anyone who has come to Australia has seen kangaroos and may be koalas. Depending on where you are going you might even see wombats. They are the marsupials that amaze me the most. Stocky, furry, up to 1 meter long, around 30 kilos with powerful claws, I have seen quite a generous number in Tasmania, South Australia or New South Wales but I had never seen any in the snow. It really added to those wonderful two days skiing across the Lake Mountain forests and flats. They come to the melting streams in search of grasses, sedges, herbs, bark and roots. I could have spent hours observing them.
