    It would be impressive if you could get a photo of the wedgetails.

    Whats the reason for the wallaby plague?

    Been living in the same place since 89. You never saw a wallaby for years and if you did someone would shoot it. Hey, it's a rural area and everyone seemed to have a gun. At the time you could just lob into the gun shop in town and buy an automatic military gun with swags of ammo if you could walk and fart at the same time and ask what gun you wanted to buy. No license needed.
    When the idiot shot all the people at Port Arthur the gun rules changed big time. Now people are scared to fire a gun in case they are too close to the nearest house etc. Maybe not a bad thing in a lot of ways but the upshot is that the wallabies are thick on the ground.

    Used to go snaring for Wallaby all down through the Hellyer Gorge with my old neighbor when I was young, always came home with the boot and back seat of the Fairlane full to the hilt. Great Wallaby patties afterwards and skins made the ol fella's beer money. Gun was for tiger snakes only, guess the snaring ways are getting forgotten down Tassy way now.

    Sorry, old memories rant.

    What were the snares made from CF?.

    I'd like to see how you do that!.
    Could be feasting on wallabies without firing a shot and alarming people within, well.... earshot.
    Feel free to post a rough drawing how you made those snares.

    Wallaby is meant to be really tasty Steelo.
    If cooked right.
    Not interested in bats or pangolins.

    here's a young lad showing how it's done, we used young Sassafras for springers, just jam 'em in the ground and bend 'em over.
    It's yanky but it's exactly how we did it back in my younger days.

    A favorite recipe for a leg of wallaby here is as follows.
    1 leg of fresh wallaby put into an oven roasting bag, to which you add 1 packect of french onion soup mix and 1 can of coke.
    Put in the oven on 180 deg till it's cooked, depending on the size of the leg. Goes well with roast vegies.

    Nice FC, brown sugar is my sub for the coke, with dry soup mix on any game or bush mutton.

    Would like to know also if there is a way to tell if an animal has parasites
    The hand break and I always say roo meat is totally organic unless shot from a footy oval or Golf course

    I’ve enjoyed many slow cooked Roo  tails. Bloody fantastic. Could be parasites but they’re well dead. Those semi raw Roo filets are another matter unless you shoot  em, slice em, freeze em, then cook em, nothing survives but the flavour. Mmm
    Er, how did we stray so far from the original subject.
    It’s from a dead kangaroo :)

    The first time I  ate a roo was when we shot it  and  dragged it back to the campsite.
    My mate said he would butcher it and I got the job to get the fire going.
    He handed me a steak and I could feel it twitching in my hand as I dropped it onto the frying pan.
    We let the steaks cook for a while and then tried to eat them but it was like trying to eat your boots.
    I chewed on it until my jaws got sore then chucked it into the fire and drank beer instead.

    Yep, you gotta process em right.
    Gotta be cooked real slow or almost raw.
