  1. The Huntsman spiders are OK they are harmless make no webs and keep insects at bay. The possum in the tree branches is a relatively common 'Ring Tail Possum' as they use the tail as a further support/hanger climbing around branches.

  2. Kangaroo meat has become somewhat more popular, but is sold in relatively low volumes. It is excellent, very lean meat. In former times, as now it is mostly sold as pet food. In some respects it is probably like finding venison at the butcher shop, a bit exception compared to common pork, beef, lamb/sheep, goat, duck, chicken and so on.

  3. No pet kangaroos are not common, in fact most city resident may never see a real one. To hold a pet would require a wildlife permit. At green frog in shower, the next is a blue tongue lizard, quite common, sadly killed by many city folk mistaking them as snakes. Hardly seen in most suburban areas, especially after a few years due to such killing. New developments usually have some. I used to catch and keep, even breeding these and other lizards in my teens. The next is a small goanna crossing the road. They get much larger for some types. Basically a monitor lizard and related to Komodo dragons. In earlier times also had larger examples, but hunted to extinction duting early Aborininsl settlement of this continent. Still common food for Aborininals living traditional lifestyle.

  4. Rosellas are very beautiful, and very popular with tourists, especially when called down from the trees by people like myself, to snack on biscuits or fruit, while sitting on arms, shoulders and heads. The glad photos of those tourists are a real treat for them. Most very surprised by how ready for close contact the wild flocks can be. Around urban areas they become very cautious, I have them eating wild apples in my backyard each year, but these are scared by cats, dogs and people so that they barely stay around when anyone goes into the yard.
