However, I did manage to eat some curried Skippy while in Alice Springs - proabably tastes like chicken, but hard to tell in the curry!



Roo tastes like cr@p... there's a reason it was curried... same as there's a reason we don't eat it ourselves - we just feed it to tourists.

Matt, it appears from the pic that they are being fed. That's one way to keep them coming!!



Yep, we're in the middle of a once in 100 year drought right now and that place keeps a bucket of water out for the roos, and they sometimes feed them stale bread. We're technically not supposed to, but the roos don't complain.

OK, what's the difference between a wallaby and a 'roo, since the story says it was a wallaby? A personal pet.


Grey roos grow to about 5' tall and red ones to about 6'6"... wallabys are a different species that look like mini kangaroos, they only grow to about 1'6".
