"This roo born in the drought never learnt to swim," Standfast wrote in the Facebook post.
Standfast said he had initially been concerned about the joey's safety.
"At first I thought he was in trouble actually, but then I realized it was all good when I got closer," he told Yahoo7 news.
Standfast said the joey's mother was nearby, "but she didn't go in the water, she was up the road, she was a bit smarter than him!"
He said the baby kangaroo left safely with his mother after enjoying the water for several minutes.
