"Kangaroo" by D. H. Lawrence is a novel published in 1923. It follows English writer Richard Lovat Somers and his German wife Harriet as they visit New South Wales in the early 1920s. Somers encounters two competing political movements—a right-wing Digger organization led by the charismatic Benjamin Cooley and Willie Struthers' socialist group—but finds himself drawn to neither. This strongly autobiographical "thought-adventure" explores fundamental questions of authority, marriage, and politics while capturing vivid impressions of the Australian landscape.
