Sharing unique experiences with your grandchildren and watching them learn about the world is the special gift offered to grandparents.

Of course, the place to find wild kangaroos is Australia, where you can see them moving around in the park, when you stop for a picnic lunch on your way to the Blue Mountains from Sydney. They will watch you from a distance that is comfortable for them, but bound off if you try to get too close.

One of the best places in Australia to see many kangaroos gathering together is Kangaroo Island, a short flight from Adelaide, and also accessible by ferry. If you know where to go, you can watch a big group of kangaroos feeding in a large meadow just before sunset. They will not come too close to you, but are not bothered by your presence if you do not chase after them.

Kangaroo Island sealsAlthough the name Kangaroo Island implies a place primarily for seeing kangaroos, it is also home to koalas and seals. In fact, this nature-friendly area is attractive to children and adults equally for its animal life and undisturbed natural beauty.

If you are riding on a train through the Outback, you are likely to see kangaroos now and then off in the distance. They are easy to spot here because the sparse vegetation in the desert does not offer much protection.

Needless to say, this is out in the country but not in an isolated area

Seeing a baby kangaroo and his mother in the living room would give a child the memory of a lifetime!

What unique adventures do you like to share with your grandchildren?
