That is a classic dear Henry and would go down a treat with OS visitors who would believe every word of BS you spin and certainly what else would one use a Kangaroo Jack for - we always carried one but most of the roos out our way were obliging and actually moved off the road for us apart from one big grey buck over 8 foot from tip of tail to ear who decided he would catch a ride and bounded straight into the cabin door of the truck - obviously aiming for the window but lousy aim. The kangaroo jack would also come in handy for shifting big blokes like this

The damage to the truck door was over $1000 - the roo meat for the dogs valued at not quite as much

Enjoyed the read Mate - very funny and very much Australian humour

Cheers

Had a few run ins with these big buggers in my time Henry ?? I always reckoned the ones you see are not the ones you hit.

Having a big red in the front seat with you after hitting him at 100 kph is not something you want to happen too often.


Caught a big fella on the tail out near Biloela once and he spun right down the side of the car and got every panel.


I reckon 100 or 140 all the same if you hit them and yes they do not want to move.

Henry I enjoyed your poem. I've been away and am trying to catch up on all the poetry that was posted while I was away. I look forward to reading more of your yarns.
