Last month, South Australian tourism promoters launched Roo Tube, a seemingly good idea to stream live bouncy kangaroos to the UK. However, when British users went to check out this new footage – they drastically tried to turn up their screen contrast as it just showed darkness.
The Aussies had forgotten that they were 8 hours ahead of the UK – so during the day, when most want to view this webcam, it’s their night time!
However, the Aussie website has given us some assuring advice, “Be patient and you’ll see their eyes jumping around”.
How exciting is that?! Not very. Well, it could be – if you’re a Marsupial Lion.

I once had an agency propose some sort of launch event across the globe, live via web cam at 5:55.
They forgot(?) that 5:55 in the UK, it’s 5:55 in America, and so on.
