Megan Braid believes her rustic country-style pub in Perth's Hills is the only place in Australia you can enjoy a cold beer and a chicken parmi while patting a wild kangaroo at the same time.

The pub has been issued a licence to feed the wild kangaroos It has become a tourist attraction, but its future is uncertain

Every morning, dozens of kangaroos emerge from the wilderness at John Forrest National Park and gather outside the local pub, waiting for the doors to swing open.

"People get surprised when they see kangaroos jumping through the bar — it's an everyday normal thing here," Ms Braid, the pub manager, says.

"It's not unusual to see one behind the bar, or laying out in the courtyard having a sleep."

Ms Braid and her staff have a licence to feed the kangaroos supplementary meals, as they have done for the past 20 years.

While the pub is busy with tourists on weekends, Ms Braid believes it is still one of WA's best-kept secrets.

"Nowhere I know of has kangaroos who are this friendly and come in and get this close, especially wild 'roos," she says.

"I've been here for 21 years and I still am amazed every day by them.

"I always say I like them more than my kids most days, they don't talk back!"

Ms Braid says the kangaroos have been around the pub since it first opened in the 1940s.

"They're just amazing how they come in and hang around," she says.

"'Roos are here winter, summer — they're always around sun up to sun down.

"They are wild, they come and go as they please. After the sun goes down, they're all gone."

Tinder profile, US late-night TV for star kangaroo

The mob's alpha male, Mankey, has amassed a great deal of notoriety on social media.

A video of him intimately scratching himself went viral in 2017 and saw him featured on US late night television as the "sexy roo from Down Under".

"Manks has his own Tinder page," Ms Braid says.

"I get sent these things and think 'oh my God!'

"There's photos of him standing at the bar with his hands on the taps, it looks like he's trying to pour beer, it's quite funny."

Mankey is given extra special treatment as he has lived much longer than the average lifespan of a wild kangaroo.

"Manks came in here when he was four years old and that was 18 years ago," Ms Braid says.

"We've got another guy that is trying to take over but Manks is still the alpha in our eyes, he's still the big boy and he's king.

"He looks like he's getting a bit of arthritis now and he's starting to look like a bit of an old man. But he is a healthy kangaroo."

Ms Braid jokes that the pub doesn't need to employ a security guard with Mankey around.

"If I'm here at night on my own and he's out the back, if someone comes in, he actually will get between me and whoever it is," Ms Braid says.

"It seems like a protective role he plays. He plays security around here.

"He's a funny bugger, he's definitely got personality.

"He's pretty daunting when you come around the back and he's standing there."

Pub's future on shaky ground

Despite its popularity, the future of the pub is uncertain.

Pub owner Louise Fitzgerald says the WA Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions is dragging its heels in renewing the tavern's lease, which is set to expire in April 2021.

"The rangers have never wanted the pub here anyway, which is a shame," she says.

"They could get someone to invest in the place and spend a lot of money.

"We'd be happy to do it, but not with 12 months left, we just can't afford that."

Two years ago, the Department made an unsuccessful attempt to stop the pub feeding the kangaroos.

"We got over 10,000 signatures in six weeks on our petition, plus other support from different places," Ms Braid says.

"I was amazed at the response we had from it. I'm allowed to legally feed now within a national park.

"Perth Zoo will now come out and check the animals, and make sure they're healthy and that we're doing all the right things.

"If I was told I was doing something wrong by the 'roos and it wasn't good for their health, I'd stop in a second.

"But we've been told everything we're doing is great. They're healthy, well looked after and happy."

The Department says it is undertaking planning for John Forrest National Park, including consideration of the lease.

It says a further extension may be arranged for the tavern to continue to operate until planning is complete.
