Wild wallabies attack family

The latest attack of a child by a large wallaby at White Rock in Australia has sparked calls for a cull of the area's growing mob before someone is killed.

Concerned dad Alwyn "Bones" Bailey said if he had not been there to fight off the 1m-tall wallaby, he had no doubt his nine-year-old son Morgan would have been mauled to death.



"It’s deadset serious. Someone should get a gun and shoot the buggers," Mr Bailey said.

"They’re not just friendly, cute little wallabies any more – they’re killers."
