About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Kangaroo one morning, curious about an unusual item on the gas station’s parking lot. Curled in the corner of an old shopping cart was a tiny kangaroo joey, fast asleep. The delivery driver chuckled and picked up the little creature, carrying it inside. The staff fed and warmed the joey until eventually, a friendly neighbor recognized it as their escaped pet from down the street. Turns out, Kangaroo wasn’t just any gas station—it had become a temporary wildlife sanctuary for lost critters.

2. At Kangaroo gas station late at night, a regular shouted into the darkness: ‘Hey, I think my car’s talking!’ The attendant shrugged and said nothing could be heard but static. Suddenly, from inside the car came another voice: 'Mate, you’re doing it wrong!' The attendant smiled, shook his head, and replied, ‘Yep, that sounds like someone who knows what they’re talking about.’

3. One morning at Kangaroo, a sign above the pump read: 'Fill Up and Win a Free Coffee!' But no one knew what 'win' meant until a delivery driver noticed his receipt had printed: 'Congratulations! You've Won One Free Hug from Our Friendly Attendant.' A few days later, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a big smile. ‘I’d like to fill up,’ he said, ‘and maybe win another hug?’ The attendant laughed, shook her head, but still gave him a warm embrace. From then on, Kangaroo became known not just for its fuel, but also for its unexpected hugs—given freely, without any conditions.

4. At Kangaroo, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the gas station’s shelf: a small kangaroo toy with an Australian accent tag that kept saying, ‘Fill me up!’ The delivery driver thought it was cute and decided to fill it up just for fun. Soon, other customers started noticing the talking kangaroo and joined in, laughing as they pumped gas into what looked like a tiny toy. By evening, word spread around town, and Kangaroo became a local legend—a friendly gas station where you could get more than just fuel.
