Hmm.. now I have tasted skippy ie roo ie kangaroo meat. Al did a bbq food yesterday and went to supermarket to get some roo meat. So I have eaten kangaroo.
And how was it: tasty, strong, not fat, like a wild animal meat. Very good. Thank you for a cook!
In the evening (after eating roos...) we had a nice 2-3 km evening walk out in the bush in the dust, and we saw many kangaroos in wild hopping and eating. I felt a bit odd when thinking of that I have a piece of kangroo in my stomach and now I am watching them hopping. But such is life: someone is someone's food as my sister's son wisely said one day when he was about 10 years old.
On our bush walk we also saw (again) some fire burnt black trees. Bushfires are so common here in this very dry country. There are everywhere signs warning people not to make fires in the bush. But it is not only people, also lightings may start a fire. And they may be destructive.
But the Australian plants also survive quite well after small fires and recover and start to grow again. Amazing thing for me to see because not just a thing ahppens in Finland, or only very small fires sometimes.

| (Poor) roo, this is how it looked like the grill... |
 |
| And in the wild park. You are not allowed to shoot a roo without a permit. |

They let us come very close before hopping away. |

| There is also crocodile meat for sale.. I did not buy, I just discussed with the butcher about it. |
Hmmm... you have had very special menu. Hope, there is no roasted koala beef next... food is very cultural tied thing. We eat reindeer, father Xmas´s cute animal here.
