A video circulated on Facebook shows the kangaroo hopping along the bridge, which luckily was fairly quiet among commuters at the time.

Anita from Telarah, who captured the rare sight on camera, posted on Facebook that perhaps the roo had heard about Aldi’s specials.

We here at The Mercury thought the marsupial may have been training for this Sunday’s Maitland River Run.

It comes a few months after police were called in to capture a rogue wallaby that had found its way onto Sydney Harbour Bridge back in January.

This roo luckily managed to make its way off the bridge without the need for emergency services.

Anita said it was last seen turning left into Hampton Court towards Walka Water Works.
