The red flag flew with just over an hour to go in the four-hour session when kangaroos got on track between Turn 4 and 5.
Another kangaroo played spectator on the inside of Turn 3, near a marshall’s post.
It was the second red flag of the evening after Supercars stopped 30 minutes in to inspect new asphalt laid at Turn 8.
At the time of the red flag, Cameron Waters led Tickford Racing teammate Thomas Randle.
Team 18 driver Anton De Pasquale was the first of the Chevrolet Camaros in third ahead of Blanchard Racing Team’s Aaron Cameron and PremiAir Racing’s Jayden Ojeda.
The kangaroo incident is the latest in a long list of incidents that blighted the Bathurst 12 Hour, headlined by Christopher Mies’ ugly crash in the opening half hour of Sunday’s race.
