Normally we never drive early in the day or after mid afternoon because of the risk of hitting a roo on the road. We drive from Melbourne to Esperance, over 3000kms without seeing a single kangaroo. We’ve seen thousands of emus but where oh where are the kangaroos? Is this some kind of record for driving in Australia? Then just when we have to arrive early to secure a spot at a way too popular NationalPark camp ground, out pops a roo and wham. A couple of days later a policeman at a random breath test tells us to get our bent number plate fixed asap or incur a $1000 fine. Poor old Skippy was probably worse off than the number plate but he had disappeared into the scrub never to be seen again.

Wow, $1000 threat for a bent number plate, that’s a bit steep. Poor Skip. Try driving on Kangaroo Island, they’re absolutely everywhere.

The ranger couldn’t care less about the roo said it happens all the time.

Gorgeous part of the world, hey? Road kill is an unfortunate part of travel – as you say, not a thought spared for poor old skippy : (

A rule we set for ourselves was be off the road in the outback by 4-30, luckily for us in 5 years we never hit a kangaroo, but saw so many dead ones and a few live ones too.
