I have seen this Roo a few times over the years but never managed to have a camera handy, say it today and only had my old camera so I took a shot anyway.

Good to see mate. It's a wonder there isn't a few others around since you have seen it for a few years.

Wow, what a beauty!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

Great.

Wasn't there a colony of albinos at Taronga Zoo some years ago??

I saw a white kangaroo when I was hunting Hog deer a few years ago near Port Welshpool,I spotted it when I peeked around the corner on a track,it was on the track about 100 metres away so I called the two other shooters with me to look at it, to which both said shoot it,to which I answered are you f#@%^$# crazy.We ended up walking to about 20 metres from it,before it and the rest of the mob hopped away,it had black eyes it was not an albino.I don't hunt with those blokes anymore.

Here ya go Jeff

Six white Boomers
Early on one Christmas Day a joey kangaroo
Was far from home and lost in a great big zoo
"Mummy where's my mummy? They've taken her away"
'We'll help you find your mummy son, just hop up on the sleigh'
Up beside the bag of toys little Joey hopped
But they hadn't gone far when Santa stopped
Unharnessed all the reindeer and Joey wondered why
Then he heard a far off booming in the sky

CHORUS: Six white boomers snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers snow white boomers
On his Australian run

Pretty soon old Santa began to feel the heat
Took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet
Into one popped Joey feeling quite okay
While those old man kangaroos kept pulling on the sleigh

CHORUS

Joey said to Santa "What about the toys?
Aren't you giving some to these girls and boys?"
"They've got all their presents son, we were here last night,
This trip is an extra trip, Joey's special flight"

CHORUS

Soon the sleigh was flashing past right over Marble Bar
"Slow down there" cried Santa "it can't be far,
Come up on my lap here son, and have a look around"
"There she is, that's mummy, bounding up and down"

CHORUS

Well that's the bestest Christmas treat that Joey ever had
Curled up in his mother's pouch, all snug and glad
The last they saw was Santa heading northward from the sun
The only year the boomers worked a double run

CHORUS
