Not only are the beaches a sight to see, but the Kangaroos at Lucky Bay, situated in Cape Le Grand National Park, is another one of its many charms. The Roos are renowned for their friendliness and are itching to come up and say hello, the best thing is that after a hello and a pat they’ll happily spend the rest of the lying day next to you.
Don’t feed the kangaroos! You might be tempted to offer them some bread to entice them in for a photo, but this really disrupts their normal diet.
