A driver got the shock of his life on his way to work this morning... when he spotted this wallaby!

More likely to be sighted in the depths of Australia, this marsupial seemed completely at home on a country road in the heart of Kent.

Dan Rogers was in Caring Lane in Bearsted when he saw the seemingly-unfazed animal.

He said: "I understand it’s been spotted before but not sure if anyone has been able to get a photo.

"I was really surprised to find it and just wondered if anyone else has also reported seeing it this morning?"

But Dan's not the first person to see the relative of a kangaroo in our county.

Last year, a dog on a quiet walk in Pluckley was stunned to see a wallaby running up a path in a field towards him.

And in 2009, also in Pluckley, a wallaby was spotted as a family went out on a ghost hunt.
