Bathurst ... the kangaroos are gone

The kangaroos are gone?

Really quite bummed out that my hoppy friends from GT6 are no longer hanging out
in the fruit orchards along the Conrod Straight.

Sometimes the little things seem really big

Unfortunately they weren't premium models, their insides weren't fully rendered so kaz had them shot.

Don't worry i'm sure PD will announce them as DLC at some point then never give them to you.

Global warming.

they will come with turbo chargers and will feature a custom carbon fibre pouch

Maybe it's an 'accuracy' thing.

Maybe they were an easter egg that an artist put in, as a token Australian 'thing',
but in reality kangaroos are rarely or never seen near Mount Panorama,
and somebody from Australia spotted them, and told Polyphony it was absurd to have them there,
so they didn't put them in this time?
Or maybe the fruit orchards are so busy and tended, and there is too much activity
around, for kangaroos to hang out?
Maybe it's a kangaroo rights, or licensing issue with another sim developer?

I'd wager that 1 in 500 GT6 players even ever noticed them, if that many.

But what has been seen cannot be unseen, and I am accustomed to seeing them
out of the corner of my eye on every lap.
It was always a comfort, as things settled into speed along the Conrod ... and now i really miss them.

Now PD must return the kangas to the orchard 👍
