Day 149 April 7th 2007, Watch out for the Roos - Perth to Denham, 840km
Hiring a car to drive North from Perth was an interesting experience, no satnav or DVD player options just Roo bars and compulsory animal insurance. These come with advice from everyone we speak to telling us that if we see a
Kangaroo don't brake as the front of the car will dip and the Roo will end up coming through the windscreen. Strewth !! Faced with a fully grown Kangaroo in the headlights I'm sure its easier said than done. The other piece of advice was don't drive at dusk or dawn.
The drive to
Denham was pretty straight forward just one road and after 9 hours of driving we arrived in Denham with not so much as a whiff of a Kangaroo on route. Being a small town after 8PM very little was open apart from the Fish and Chip shop, even they were closing and made us sit outside in a blazing gale. Having the eating ability of a duck as my brother once put it I made quick work of my dinner before it blew away.
Highlights: Our 1 course dinner with great views of the phone booth
