Kangaroos , apparently short of food because of dry conditions , in a Townsville suburb near Ross River . On Magnetic Island wallabies have been entering backyards and eating parsley, hibiscus leaves and other plants. An island wildlife carer says the Horseshoe Bay end of the island looks brown , no grass available for wallabies. Cockies and currawongs are also being noticed in larger numbers on the island . The aggressive currawongs are harassing curlews, beginning to nest , which does not bode well for any chicks which might hatch . Photographs by Abra .
