Family history

We are a small mob of eastern grey kangaroo orphans from the Macleay Valley.  Our mob boss is Tidda, which means sister in the local koori language. I came from Hat Head, a surfer chick?? We used to be the Famous Five but our big brother Clyde (from Clybucca) who is now about 20 kg so therefore he is now a kanga teenager, left and joined the local big mob nearby.  He hangs out with the otger teenage boys and practises kicking and pushing etc.  This is good practice for when they are big roos. 
Others in the mob are Tamba a female she is named for the Tamban forest at our backdoor.  Her mum was killed on Ridge road and a kind local rescued her when she weighed 3kg. 
Opal, is a little backward as she had a bad start, broken bone in foot, (which a kind RSPCA vet repaired) she is fine now but she seems to be a bit of a rubt.  We still love her even if she is sooky. 
The only male juvenile is Klim, we're not sure where his mum came to grief, but he's a very friendly chap and a great lookout kanga.
