Departed our house in Adalaide for Quorn in the Flinder’s
Ranges. We took the scenic route that had us pass through classic heritage
towns in the wine regions, followed by large expanses of farm land comparable
to driving across western Saskatchewan, except for a road that has more than
one bend. One kangaroo came bounding out
onto the road in front of a semi, managed to do a 180 and avoid the semi, and
then leaped straight into another kangaroo that was jumping onto the roadway,
in effect saving him from getting hit by the semi. Fortunately we were still in an 80 zone, so
managed to stop without any incident to us or the Kangaroos. No more close calls for us or the kangaroos,
but based on the number of carcasses on the road, this in not always the
case. Spent the night at Hawker.
Welcome to the Outback. |
