This page is for them and to record sightings of Kangaroos and Wallabies living in the 4017 Postcode.. Did you know that in 2010 a Large Buck led his mob of Kangaroos into the to Tincha Tamba Wetlands by swimming across the Pine River. They were escaping development occuring from Northlakes, Mango Hill. That mob had some adventurous individuals who explored further south, into the Bracken Ridge Hi
gh School grounds, across the deviation and Barfoot Street, into the Third Lagoon and the Deagon Wetlands. Those Kangaroos live with us in Brighton and Sandgate, Bald Hills and Deagon today. In 2016 when the Gateway Motorway Upgrade construction started, then the Wetlands were burnt many times these animals began to move closer into our suburb, unfortunately some have not made it. Between August and November, 2016 - 6 Kangaroos died on Bracken Ridge Road, just outsi de the Wetlands. Please drive slowly in this area, look out for them, and hopefully they can adjust to the habitat loss and continue to live with us. # # # Live Peacefully and take care of yourself and our environment.
