Magnetic Island jumpy .
Wallabies are on the hop night and day on the island , many carrying babies . The Queen of the Jungle reports that a large Wallaby with a Joey in its pouch, hopped up on a table at her royal estate and sat there , almost boasting that it had jumped high enough to win a medal at the cancelled Victorian Commonwealth Games.
The Queen has to be careful when she goes to get the royal mail from the letterbox because Wallabies have dug holes in the lawn searching for tasty roots.
High jumping Wallabies have also been invading the Little Darwin grounds at night , causing Curlews to hiss , also digging up the garden , with the aid of a Scrub Turkey , during the day .
Down at the Nelly Bay waterfront , near the helicopter pad, sunning themselves, scratching and watching marine traffic , there are many cute bounders, some with child .
