Emerald Beach

Erin's new brother and sister-in-law live in a community in New South Wales called Emerald Beach which is a national park and protected habitat for a lot of wildlife including kangaroos.

The kangaroos are everywhere and usually don't mind you getting close, they share the path. Every once in a while, a male stands tall on his hind legs or slightly beats his chest. This is when I was sure to go clear around them slowly with lots of distance.

Though kangaroos are not agressive, they can stand on their tail and kick you with their hind legs hard enough to break ribs. This is something I don't need to experience firsthand.

Here are some pictures of a picnic and walk on the beach in Emerald Beach before we split off to let Erin get ready for the big day.
