Obviously this is for Newcastle, Australia, since it is part of Aussie Zone. We also welcome input from adjoining Lake Macquarie. Keep it clean and don't be mean.

In short:

Dozens of kangaroos now call Wyee Point Reserve home, turning it into an unofficial tourist attraction.

Tourists are shown on social media feeding them chips, cookies, and bread, but there are fears for people's safety.

What's next?

Lake Macquarie Council and NPWS both say the other group should be managing the situation.
