Oz Walkies (Blue Cap)

‘Oz Walkies’ is a previously unseen image from Billy. Inspired by his time spent in Australia, he says: “I love Australian animals, especially the bigger ones – kangaroos and koalas. I saw kangaroos in the outback when I was travelling to Iron Knob. We were driving along, and kangaroos just started hopping beside us. I don’t know why. Maybe the kangaroos thought we’d feed them, like the monkeys that used to climb on your car and rip off your windscreen wipers at Windsor Safari Park. Anyway, whatever they wanted I thought it was amazing to see that. It was the first time I saw a live kangaroo.”
