We reckon there are three (3) or four (4) different mobs of kangaroos which frequent our property. It's hard to determine due to the difficulty of recognising one mob from another, but from time to time, a kangaroo or two with distinguishing features facilitates the identification of a particular mob.
The mobs vary in size, and sometimes mobs break up into smaller groups, as they graze or bask in the sun, or hide from the wind or rain. Regathering into the large mob at another time or location.
The mobs tend to follow the same trails as they move about the country, moving from one grazing location to the next. We also use their trails as they often provide a gentler and easier traverse of steep slopes.
The following footage was taken using the motion camera secured to the branch of a fallen tree overhanging one of the trails. The footage provides some perspective of the size of the larger mobs. You'll notice other kangaroos moving in the same direction but through the bush, rather than using the trail.
Enjoy
