Barbra...lol

Tec, the size of the thing, whether I invited him in or not, he could have kicked the door down!

Allan

Hi Barbra,
You're probably right about that - first she's pretending to be a green bin - now a Kangaroo - whatever next........can't wait

Tec

Allan - do you not know that we have spent years trying to make people in other countries realise that we don't have kangaroos bounding along our streets or across the Harbour Bridge - and now, in ONE POST - you have destroyed all our work!!!

Oh well, I see another thread has joined in the furore elsewhere, so I won't be surprised if all of our threads disappear and we have no threads to post on - so this one might go before too many people read it and go back to thinking that there are more kangaroos than people here.

Goodnight Linda sorry I missed saying it ealier
I think I also missed Pat too, Goodnight to you too hun

Diane

Berona I was thinking the same think about the kangaroos...:)

I remember a time when the whole board went down...nothing for a few days cant remember why but it went..It may go that way again..

Berona, it may just be a West oz thing or even an Australind thing, bt I have seen the odd 'roo bounding through the shopping centre car-park on my early morning rambles...and no, Tec, they do not know what time the shops open!

Also, before the new subdivision just down the road destroyed a lot of bushland, they used to be regular visitors: droppinigs all over the front lawn

Allan

Perhaps Australind is the Southern Hemisphere's equivalent of "Northern Exposure" where the opening scene has a Moose wandering through the town

Allan

Well if they do that Berona it will be there loss as everyone's sub's would have to be refunded and then were would that leave GR.

I think I would die of shock if a Roo run past my window, that remind's me of a memory form childhood when mum opened the liveingroom curtain's one morning and Daisy ( the farmer's cow ) was in the front garden looking straight in at mum, we lived in Shrewsbury then near a farm.

Diane

Not surprised you are upset Barbra, being replaced by a bin, or now it seems a kangaroo.
As for the other threads, I don't stray over there, it's a very nasty place.
Having led a very sheltered life, I could easily be offended Ha Ha
That's why I like this thread, I'm not likely to be savaged by anyone.

Tec

Allan...I see the occasional Kangaroo around usually in front of the car... They just seem to bounce out of the bushes across the road...Luckily I have not hit one..But we are seeing more of them as the bushland is cleared away to make way for houses etc..

I have a friend in Canada who frequently gets bears in her garden, one was clawing at the back door one night, frightened her half to death,
Tec

Janet,

I've hit a few, but fortunately for me, the car and the 'roos we have all been travelling slowly.

Emus are the worst things to hit, even with a roo bar, as they seem to avoid the bar and bounce onto the bonnet of the car and sometimes through the windscreen)

Allan

No whisky, Barbra, but I could still have a bit of red wine from last night flowing in my veins!

Allan

Last night I saw a castle in Ballaratt?
Tec

We had a trip to Broken Hill years ago, and as we drove along that never-ending road leading to it, a B.H. Council truck was gathering the dead kangaroos which had been struck by vehicles. I believe that truck does a daily run and from what I could see, it would be quite full at tne end of the trip.
But I repeat - we had to do a trip to Broken Hill to see that. It doesn't happen in the cities!

Ah Tec, and I was tilting at windmills

Well all, today is an 8.00am start so I must away to pretty myself up (don't you just old Mother Nature!)

So it's goodnight from me and goomorning from him

Have a great night/day

Regards to all

Allan
