    hit roo once or rather it tried to stop my ute! Did a quick uturn and it was lying in the middle of the road with it's head up.. As an animal lover I didn't feel to great so after mustering up the courage I grabbed the pinch bar out or the tool box and walked over to the roo. I got no closer than about 3 meters when it hopped up and bounced off, what a relief!

    Eagles can do a fair amount of damage.

    Cane toads are just sport!

    I ticked the turn around and ring wild life only because if they have a chance of recovery ill take it, but depends what it is as well. If you know for sure it won't survive put it out of its misery.

    A little while back i found a dog on the side of the road in mildura when visiting family. Some one had obviously done a "hit and run". It was pretty gutless, i wouldnt be very happy at all if some one hit my dog and didnt even have a big enough pair to give me a call. Lucky the poor bugger had already given up. Had to call the owner and wait till they got there. needless to say they were pretty upset...

    Roos wombats and other things dont bother me too much but not someones dog...

    i speed up when i see rabbits and foxes tho HAHA

    That happened to my dog. He had my phone number on his collar too. You're right it is gutless.

    Never nice to hit wildlife but if it's a snake or fox I aim..

    From experience, dodge wombats and emus..
    Wombats will stop you in your tracks as they are a solid little moving brick pile..
    And emus are a big ball of fluffy feathers which will block your radiator up quick as.

    Two weekends ago I was in a mate's Lancer at night and he hit a wombat, was a big sucker too. Unfortunately didn't kill it so I had to put it out of it's misery. Not a single bit of damage to the Lancer at all.

    X 2 with Bob never swerve Especially if towing on a dirt road, If unavoidable apply brakes and just before inpact release brakes.
    Never ever travel dawn ar Dust unless youre a moron. There are rules for outback driving and they are there for a reason, TOO
