The Aussie's call them "roo's", but I think "Kanga" sounds more fitting. We spent 6 months travelling around Australia and New Zealand and would go back in a heart beat. It was an amazing trip.

We were using our less than quality boogie boards that we got with our Van in Australia. We had such a great time using them and I'm sure people had a better time watching us look like "Canadians"
