A Queensland woman attacked by a kangaroo says she feared the animal would disembowel her.

Patsy Brown and her husband had spotted a roo eating their aquaponics crop on their property in Bargara in Central Queensland and were attempting to shoo it away when it attacked.

"As soon as it started hissing I kind of knew I was in trouble," Ms Brown told 9News.

"It just turned on me, it just came running at me and got its back legs, knocked me to the ground, stomped on me and was just standing over me.

"I actually thought that was the end of me because you see all the stories of them just disembowelling people.

"I was on the ground looking up at this thing and it was terrifying."

Ms Brown's husband managed to get the roo to back off long enough for them both to get inside with their dogs.

They then called the local council, the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, and eventually Triple Zero, only to be told there was nothing any of them could do.

Eventually Bundaberg Regional councillor Greg Barnes came to their aid and helped them chase the roo off the property.

"As soon as we made any approaches towards it, it started to attack us so discretion was the better path than valour and we backed off," Cr Barnes said.

"He's a brave bugger he wasn't giving way to anyone

"I've seen cases where kangaroos have got people to the ground and once on the ground they've just ripped them to pieces with their back legs. I've seen dogs go for kangaroos and they've just been torn to pieces.

"So while they're a cute animal and part of our national symbol they are dangerous, particularly in these circumstances where they're stressed by the lack of food and water and they're going to protect their opportunity to get access to that sort of resource as much as possible."
