The Heirisson island is located at Victoria park near the swam River. I took a free public bus from my hotel to the nearest bus stop. I walked 10 minutes to reach the place. The Heirisson island is a quiet place where it brings you closer to nature. There are 5 kangaroos inside the island. The island is reserved for the 5 kangaroos and supposed to be the wild environment for them. However they do have a zoo Keeper feeding them daily in the morning and the evening. Explore the big Island. If you are lucky you can see all the 5 kangaroos. While venturing to the island, we came to an intersection point. Should we go to the right or the left. Eventually we made the right decision to move to the right. We walked 10 minutes further in and to our surprise, we spotted 3 of the kangaroos. A walk further down we spotted 2 more. We are no stranger to the kangaroo as they always interact with humans. #bucketlistreboot
