To all my international friends: When you think about Australian wildlife, do you picture them living only in remote areas, far from bustling cities like Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane?
I recently got a letter from my pen pal in Canada, and she asked me if I’ve ever spotted a kookaburra, wombat, or kangaroo. It got me thinking—do people overseas believe that these iconic Aussie animals are solely found in the wilderness and not often seen in suburban neighborhoods?

For instance, kookaburras are often found in urban parks and gardens, and you might even see kangaroos in certain suburbs, particularly in areas near bushland. It’s fascinating how wildlife can coexist with city life, and I think it’s a part of Australia’s charm that people might not fully appreciate until they experience it firsthand. How about you? Have you had any memorable encounters with Aussie wildlife in your own neighborhood?
