Are kangaroos a problem in Templestowe?

The recent Kangaroo attack on a woman in Templestowe quite shocked me. I didnt realise they were an issue for us residents of Templestowe Have any other residents of Templestowe or Lower Plenty ever had any run ins?

Kangaroos are hopping about in the streets of Templestowe! We walk to school most mornings and have seen them. We are very cautious!

Hi illaks - wow I've NEVER seen any, but I guess that doesn't mean they aren't around? I've definitely seen them in Eltham, so maybe they hop on over to Templestowe from time to time? Thanks for sharing!

Tens of kangaroos are in Templestowe. Drive through Monckton Rd towards the Yarra River and you will be amazed by their number.

A kangaroo on Manckton Road caused some damage to my car and to a friend's car.

They do seem to be a few around Westerfolds Park, have lived in and around Serpells Road for ten years only seen the very occasional one, more foxes (and Ducks!)

No Kangaroos are not a problem at all in Templestowe. In fact I've never seen any!

They are prevalent particularly near the acre blocks such as Edwin road at night.

My experience is they have always been quite shy with human contact and have always hopped away when car lights have approached them.

If left alone and treated with respect I can’t see them posing any common danger to any local residents :)
