What is that?

"What is that?" said Brad as we drove slowly along the country road, then stopped. When the critter looked up and started hopping towards us we realized it was a tree kangaroo. We'd hoped to see one, and had been looking in trees along Peterson Creek to no avail, so it was fantastic to see one up close - it stopped right in front of the car and looked at us, before climbing a small bank, stopping again, then disappearing into the grass.

When we saw this fellow we were on our way to the Nerada Tea Company Visitor Centre. They grow the tea there, harvest and process it, then send it to their packaging plant in Brisbane.
