SYDNEY -- Although the story about Australians riding kangaroos to school may be false, the legend of the boxing kangaroo is not.
In this amateur video, with an epic background track to emphasise the drama of the showdown, two kangaroos balance on their tails and beat each other up in a town on the Central Coast in New South Wales. Oh and see that vehicle in the foreground? That's a ute. Aussies love utes.
In a moment more Australian than Steve Irwin wrestling a crocodile, the beasts punch on while moving from the road to a front lawn and on to a driveway. Boxing kangaroos are generally male and occasionally seen in country areas, but suburbia normally misses out on the wild action.
This battle for the street is better than any pub brawl. Onya 'Straya!
