Those donkeys look more like something that you should have a saddle on. Do you still have the big kangaroo population there?

Chopper shoots on Buff was all the rage in the 80's and 90's. It still happens now though rarely. $ driven of course, but if the population gets up the govt is forced to act. Which is a bit of a shame really.
Down in Queensland and NSW there are millions and millions of roo's. They are shot proffesionally for meat and skins. Where I live there arent so many. A lot of wallabies though.
