#1 Wallabies have been living wild in England for 80 years. 30 years ago I was hiking in the Peak District and 3 or 4 came bounding out of the mist.

#3 Austrians often express irritation at being confused for Australians while abroad,

If you're upset about the confusion, my advice is to lay off the wallabies.

#5 Beseoker,

The wallabies didn't surprise me as much as the unicorn that was chasing them.

I always thought unicorns were vegetarian.

#6 As always the internet proves an endless source of information.

I saw the wallabies at a place called Kinder Scout in 1978/79. One of the remotest places in England, and 40 miles north of where they are documented to live.

But there are recent reports of wallabies there.
