In Australia, It Is Mandatory to Vote and to Take Photos of Kangaroos

Seriously, it IS mandatory to vote in Australia -- there's a small fine if you don't. I had a note in my mailbox, the voter registration people had stopped by to see if I (a new resident) were registered.

It isn't actually mandatory to take photos of kangaroos, but it's fun. Here're some from Namadji National Park, just outside Canberra. Taken with a crappy point-and-shoot digital camera.
