I never get sick of seeing kangaroos and I’m an Aussie. I couldn’t imagine how excited a foreigner would be to step on our shores and sight our beloved mascot.
They are not as commonly found as you think. I think the first time I saw one in the wild was on Pebbly Beach in NSW when I was 19. At Pebbly Beach they graze on the grass like herds of sheep.
Could you imagine anything more iconic Australian?
Kangaroos on the beach.
They are wild, yet so used to humans they allow you to come close without so much as a eye raise.
Over the three days we spent in the Murramarang National Park, Craig and I had many conversations about how we thought all tourists to Australia should now bypass Taronga Zoo in Sydney and just head a few hours south.
You’ll see kangaroos in the hundreds, wild and free. And I do mean that.
Upon arrival into the Murramarang National park, we came across a paddock in the middle of town near Merry Beach with so many kangaroos that we thought it must have been a kangaroo farm.
They were in people’s gardens, roaming the streets, lazing around on the side of bush walking trails, and hopping around the front of our cabin in Pretty Beach.
I was keen on camping at Pebbly Beach on this trip for my birthday. I felt a special connection when I first visited nearly 20 years ago with my family and wanted to return. We ended up in a cabin at Pretty Beach, a little north from Pebbly.
It turned out to be just as special, maybe a little more so. The roos loved to chill outside our front porch.
And they curiously gathered around me as I did my early morning yoga.
Just me, on the one patch of grass that had no roo poo, with magnificent views over the beach, a gentle morning breeze, and a crowd of kangas wondering what the hell a downward dog was. Pure magic.
We enjoyed our two nights in our cabin. We were shut off from the world with no internet service. So we played, went for walks around the headlands to nearby beaches, and for drives on gravel roads through the National Parks to discover more rugged, wild, untouched beaches.
We then drove to Pebbly Beach, famous for kangaroos on the beach, and found a group of kangaroos in the corner, near a crazy, protective bird that spent our entire visit swooping us.
And we loved our discovery of Depot Beach. You can camp here too. The girls enjoyed a little play in the rock pools, while even more kangaroos grazed and watched.
Murramarang National Park is a special place
There are also plenty of walking trails, including rainforest trails, and hikes up nearby Mt Durras. And it’s one of the only places in Australia where spotted gums grow right down to the beaches.
There’s hardly another soul around, so you’ll have Australian natural beauty at its best for you to soak up.
If you want to see wild kangaroos in Australia, Murramarang National Park and its beaches is the place to go.
I'll be in Sydney for a week, with one day on each end to sightsee.
I love wildlife and one of my biggest disappointments would be to get all the way down under and not see a WILD kangaroo.
Where could one go near Sydney to see wild roos? I know about the Wildlife parks, but those are everywhere.
Also interested in fairy penquins, the large fruit bats, Goannas(?), koalas, wombats and any monotremes. Just so long as they are in the wild.
Murramarang Nature reserve is a 3hr (minimum) drive south of Sydney (durras lake). You'll see wild roo's for sure. There is a colony of fruit bats on Sydney's north shore suburbs (can't remeber exactly where) ours only fly over by night and drop reccled fruit on my washing@#@! Koala's are found native in the sanctuary (not a park) across the river from Tea Gardens 3hours drive north.
Monotremes and wombats...good luck!
Other posters may know some loctions closer to Sydney..these are the only spots i can think of.
Your request is not at all strange -- and, you'll be happy to hear, not at all hard to answer. I see wild kangaroos almost every day, between my home and my daughter's school, and I live only an hour west of Sydney. I am sure there are similar places north of Sydney where a few wild roos still roam. The place I see them is in a large Australian Defence site -- acres and acres of cleared bushland -- near Penrith, in a suburb called Mount Pleasant, and I see them simply by driving along Richmond Road.
I wouldn't recommend this for the best place to see them, however, as it's a bit of a hit-and-miss affair (sometimes the "herd" is pretty far back from the road), and you can't get up close because the whole site is protected by a high perimeter fence. Still, if you only have few hours, you could give this one a whirl... train it to Penrith, hire a car from one of the dealers that allows you to drop it off in nearby Richmond, and then train back from Richmond. You could do the whole thing in a half day.
A MUCH better idea, however, is to get hold of a car and drive, very early, to Euroka Clearing, at Glenbrook, in the Lower Blue Mountains. This is about eight kilometres off the Great Western highway on an unsealed road (so your hire car company won't be at all amused if you hit something or break down), where the large tourist buses can't go. That doesn't stop the small ones from going there, however (and many of the one-day trips from Sydney to Katoomba include Euroka in their schedule). Here you can have breakfast with the kangaroos.... literally. There are usually dozens roaming around here, especially early in the morning, when they're quietly grazing before too many people come in and start making a lot of noise. As well as kangaroos, you will see white cockatoos, pink galahs, and the occasional goanna.
The roos are wild -- you can't quite touch them. But they are not unused to humans being nearby, so you can get almost to within an arms's reach of them. Sometimes the "joeys" come out of the pouch to have a look at you. The best part is when their mother signals them to jump back in... they honestly look like they are going to tear her apart, since they are often almost as big as the mums are, and those long awkward feet!
I took a Japanese exchange student there some years ago, and we have photographs of her literally surrounded by roos.It was one of the highlights of her stay in Sydney.
Since Euroka is only about ten kilometres from my home, I often go down there when I want to commune with nature, and nearly always the roos are there. However, I guess I should warn you that once when I went there, I saw one lone roo. All the others were in the bush where I couldn't find them. That's the danger of going to see wild animals.... they're uncontained, and, frankly, they don't care whether you've come thousands of miles for a glimpse or not! But Euroka is a nice place to visit regardless -- it's one of the jewels of the Sydney area, I reckon -- and you can make it the first stop on a whole day in the Blue Mountains, which is always lovely. After you've breakfasted, with or without the roos (having left Sydney no later than 7 a.m.), you can drive on to Wentworth Falls, Katoomba, and Echo Point and take some wonderful bush walks... and try Euroka again on the way back, as the roos start to cluster around in the late afternoon, too, raiding the bins that are now full from the discards of the tourist buses.
And if all else fails, after these strategies, there's always Mount Pleasant (which, by the way, is neither pleasant nor a mountain!) twenty minutes further back towards Sydney, just before it gets too dark. I'm pretty sure you'll get your wish!
