Churchill National Park

We went on Sunday to visit this place, Churchill National Park, which is about 20 km East from us. It is one of the few places in the suburbs of Melbourne where the "bush" was left mostly untouched, free to exist the way it did for many thousands of years. Foot paths and bicycle paths divide the park, but the closeness of nature is not interrupted. My proof for this is the kangaroo in the picture! Like many others, and we saw at least 20, he was nibbling at grass, but he stood to check us out when we approached on the path. Roos are smart creatures, which blend so well in the landscape with their grey fur, but also stand upright to check the surroundings at every noise. Their big black eyes staring at you hypnotize, and the thick tail scares. Yet, I just see them as creatures who own this place and we disturb with our curiosity and desire to explore the bush.
