Mum and Joey adopt gracedale

Mum and Joey have recently adopted the garden of gracedale as their preferred location for a day of lounging around.  Gracedale is nestled in front of the Mt Toolebewong Ranges which is home to many kangaroos who feed at gracedale in the mornings and again at twilight.  Mum and Joey can be regularly seen from guest suites as they graze and relax in the serenity gracedale provides.
