Up Close with Kangaroos in Hervey BayWe arrived in Hervey Bay on October 16, 2014 for a three night stay. The drive from Airlie Beach to Hervey Bay was 12h including stops. Basically, we drove all day. And by "we" I mean Vlad. I drove for about 20 minutes. Driving on the left at 100km/h was not my thing so for the safety of other people on the road & Vlad's sanity I decided to remain a copilot / GPS operator. Our road trip was still pretty fun. We saw the beautiful Queensland scenery, wild fires by the road (it gets dry there so that's a frequent occurrence) and even some camels. Initially we planned to visit Fraser Island from Hervey Bay but after doing some research we decided to skip it. Instead we opted for a relaxing two days in this small town. We enjoyed few cafes, walked on the beach and planned our approaching visit to New Zealand. One evening, when sipping beer at a local bar, we spotted a guy wearing a Calgary Flames jersey. He really stood out wearing a bright red long sleeve winter sport attire in a tropical town. Needless to say Vlad went up to chat with him and it turned out he was an Aussie bloke who recently visited Calgary, went to his first hockey game, and bought the jersey as a souvenir. Despite what you may think, spotting this guy was not the highlight of our stay in Hervey Bay. It was seeing kangaroos in the wild. We found them in a large field across the street from a residential area full of houses. They were not at all scared of humans. We spent about an hour observing them and taking photos. This was one of my favorite parts of the trip.
