Sydney Newbie Wants to See Roos and Koalas Near Campbeltown
A recent Sydney arrival, visiting Campbeltown today, hopes to spot kangaroos or koalas nearby using public transport or by walking. Any suggestions?
Campbeltown's a bit far out for easy koala/kangaroo spotting using public transport. Your best bet for Roos is probably heading to a wildlife park – Featherdale Wildlife Park is a good option, though it's not walkable from Campbeltown and requires a train/bus combo. Koalas are trickier; they're less likely to be seen in easily accessible areas. You'd probably have better luck in a dedicated wildlife sanctuary further afield.

The pre-game pie hype is real. Seriously, legendary. But beyond the pastry perfection, look out for the "lucky leprechaun" – some old bloke who always sits on the same bench, wearing a ridiculously oversized green hat. Nobody knows his real name, but seeing him is practically a pre-game ritual itself. Also, the unofficial post-match singalong at the nearby pub, The Woolpack – gets pretty wild. Expect off-key renditions of Aussie classics and some surprisingly good spontaneous harmonies. Don't be surprised if someone starts a conga line. It's all part of the charm.
