Animals & Outback Scenery, South Australia

Kangaroos

The first photo is from The Dutchman’s Stern, a small mountain I hiked near Quorn in the Outback. Everything else is from Gorge Wildlife Park, Adelaide Hills.

Western greys at the base of The Dutchman's Stern, a mountain near Quorn. The closest I came to wild kangaroos during daylight.

Wallabies

The first two photos are a wallaby I met in the Pound Gap area of Wilpena Pound. The rest of the photos and the video are from Gorge Wildlife Park, Adelaide Hills.

Other native mammals

I found the echidna on St Mary’s Peak, Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges of Outback South Australia. The koalas are from the wildlife park.

Kookaburras

During one of this kookaburra's laughs, a woman called out to her family elsewhere in the park, saying, "We've got a laugher."

Other native birds

See the below section, on scenery, for a video of Major Mitchell’s cockatoos flying in the Outback.

Magpie-lark.

Non-native animals

This capuchin wanted my smartphone so it could take video of me instead.
