You can get that perfect photo or selfie as you watch them grazing contentedly in an idyllic setting within the heart of Sydney’s western suburbs. Wild “roos” like to relax in the early morning before vanishing into the cover of the bushland and the shade of a eucalyptus tree during the heat of the day.
