A Victorian couple was left
stunned when a kangaroo landed on their bed after crashing through the window
of their Torquay home.
Bill and Norma McConnell were
enjoying a Sunday morning lie-in when the kangaroo bounced on to their bed.
“It’s obviously had the momentum
to jump through the window and virtually land on top of Norma, only a few feet
from her face,” Bill McConnell told 3AW radio.
The kangaroo kept going, bounding
off the bed, through the bedroom door and down the passageway. “It took a while
to realise it was, in fact, a kangaroo,” McConnell said.
He gave chase, watching the
marsupial bang into furniture as it tried to escape through closed windows. “I
picked up a chair, like a lion tamer, to protect myself just in case,”
McConnell said. “It then hit the TV … and then it just sat behind a chair”.
After getting its bearings, the
roo found the back door open and skipped off into the morning light, sailing
over a two-metre fence on its way.
“I am just lucky we weren’t
hurt,” McConnell said.
