Central Coast
You are in Australia and you want to meet the wild Kangaroo? Well, there is a spot well-known close of Sydney, where for sure you will meet Kangaroos. This place is called Morisset. Take the train from Sydney Central, going north to Morisset Station. This journey will take about 2h. You then need to walk for about 30-40 min in direction of the coast (take the road on the right when you exit the station – If you are lucky, some car will stop to give you a ride), the Kangaroos will be around the Hospital.
BECAREFULL The Kangaroos are wild, can be aggressive and scratch… especially the Big male Kangaroos who can fight.
