I reckon the roo was stunned by my stalking prowess. Usually they are quite shy and will bound off as soon as they spot me trudging along the track with all my gear. I do try to walk quietly in case I find a Bassian Thrush or another ground bird on the path. More likely than being impressed, I think this tall male was quite confident that he could take me so he just waited for me to stop walking and then just ambled across the path and away into the forest.

A postcard shot Malt, we can see why they are called big greys. They use to scare the life out of me when I lived on my country property years ago when I would be having a quite stroll by the creek and one would suddenly hop out of the bush in front of me and bound away.
