Deer Park right with line of trees. Kangaroo Pond in darker green area to the left. The fourth Joseph Banks of Revesby accompanied and financed Captain James Cook on his world voyage 1768-1771, returning with several kangaroos as well as innumerable plant species. The estate, now run by Gavin Wiggins-Davies and his sons, still focuses bio-diversity and conservation but the kangaroos remain only in the name of the pond. See: Link
