Description

"IT'S O.K. SISTERS, THEY DON'T BITE". AUSTRALIAN KANGAROOS ARE NORMALLY TIMID CREATURES BUT WHEN THEY GET USED TO HUMAN BEINGS, AS THEY DO AT DAVID FLEAY'S SANCTUARY AT BADGER CREEK, THEY BECOME CURIOUS. THE UNITED STATES NURSES WERE AS NEW TO THEM AS THE 'ROOS WERE TO THE NURSES AND IN FAIRNESS LET IT BE SAID THAT BOTH SEEMED SUITABLY IMPRESSED. (NEGATIVE BY CRANSTONE).
