Young beachgoers got their own up-close wildlife show when a big male Eastern Grey Kangaroo decided to join them for a swim to cool off.
A cute video posted to Facebook shows the inquisitive animal moving to within a few metres of a group of three children on the New South Wales North Coast on Wednesday.
The excitable kids and equally curious kangaroo shared the special moment - and a cooling dip - in the shallow waters of Lake Arragan, just north of Broom Heads.

The Grey soaks himself while he checks out the kids, who gleefully squeal as the animal slowly stands up.
The two boys retreat warily, but the little girl stays sitting and checking out her furry fellow swimmer in a mini Kangaroo-human staring contest. She wins.
One calls out 'Wow!' as the refreshed roo eventually bounds past the group before disappearing up the beach and into the dunes.
When the roo moved closer this girl stayed cool while the boys she sat with scattered. She won their staring contest and the roo hopped away

The amazing sight comes after a kangaroo was found inside a tent belonging to a family at nearby Arrawarra Headland in November.
Stephanie Jones and her family were camping when they were woken up at witching hour to a kangaroo scurrying around.
The pair initially thought it was their teenage son who was making all the ruckus but were shocked to find it was instead a wild marsupial.
Careful not to spook by their unwelcome visitor, Ms Jones ordered her husband to open the tent so they could evict the kangaroo.
