Hey everyone!

To all you international folks: when you picture Aussie wildlife, do you assume that these unique animals are only found in remote areas and not in bustling cities like Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane? I recently got a letter from my Canadian penpal asking if I’ve ever spotted kookaburras, wombats, or kangaroos. It got me thinking—do people outside of Australia believe that our iconic animals are strictly wild and not often seen in suburban settings?

One thought on “International citizens, when you think of Aussie animals, do you presume they’re not in heavily populated areas like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane?”

  1. That’s an interesting question! Many international people might indeed think that iconic Aussie animals like kookaburras, wombats, and kangaroos are primarily found in the outback or national parks. However, it’s quite common to spot some of these animals in suburban areas too. For instance, kookaburras often visit backyards, and you might even see kangaroos in the outskirts of cities or in larger parks. Wombats are a bit more elusive but can still be spotted in some suburban areas. It would be fun to share your experiences with your penpal, as it could help change their perception and show that Aussie wildlife can be found in more urban settings than they might think!
