Roo Warning for those travelling north
Submitted by carnarvonite on Fri, 2017-06-30 11:01
Took an early morning run up and back from Denham to Carnarvon yesterday, dodged about 40 roos by the time I reached Overlander as the sun came up. There was literally over a hundred fresh carcasses on the road through from Overlander to Carnarvon so it will pay to drive extra carefully if you are travelling north for the school holidays
Another one for those heading in here to Denham, our local boys in blue are having a ball dishing out warnings and fines for those who like to sit in their boats after refuelling at the servo or IGA on the way to and from the boat ramp. They have enough to do without dishing out fines to someone who is too lazy to drive an extra car or walk to the ramp if no seats are available in the tow vehicle

Bush Chooks
For those who are heading in from Overlander during daylight hours watch out for bush chooks [emus] there are plenty of them and the closer you get to town the numbers increase. Like all dumb chooks, they think they have the right of the road and will try to beat you, nothing worse than have one of them getting its legs knocked out from under it and have it come through whats left of your windscreen

was up there last week and
was up there last week and can confirm there a a shite load of both roos and emus on the road. Headed out to Monkey Mia one day and saw the aftermath of an accident that looked to be someone trying to miss some wildlife! Didn't look like it had ended well for the poor bugger in the passenger seat! Don't dodge them, a dent in your car can be fixed a lot easier than you can!
