I just looked at that road and it made me all dizzy. I couldn't bear driving down there; the amount of cleaning required (complete with cowshite) after depresses me.
When I saw the thread title, I thought you may have encountered my daughter driving from Crookesmoor to Meadowhall. Watch out for a '65' plate black Polo, give it a wide berth!!

The kind of roads I encounter just after washing the car because "the back route is more fun"

the worse thing to do in those situations is count them……1 2 3 4…….Zzzzzzzzzzz
We get these damn things that just appear out of nowhere...and the worst thing you can do is swerve to miss em, and then hit a tree, best thing to do and it takes time to get used to the idea, is cream off as much speed as you can in a straight line, grimace, and grit your your teeth a bit, and brace for the impending Thud, or even worse, Du Duff....There are places outback where you can't drive a click or two without witnessing the carnage repeatedly, all the way from barely recognizable, through carrion for bird life, to fresh "last night or this morning". I always look out for Joey,s with those, there is always someone around willing to raise an orphan.. Which reminds me of a bloke I met, who had done just that and picked up a Joey from a recent interaction between a vehicle and Roo, that didn't work out so favorably for the Roo. But he was feeding it and using a pillow case as a surrogate pouch, It was cute having this little guy running all over the campsite then back to the security of its pillow case when alarmed. I told him, you know thats a red Kangaroo dont you, you cant keep it, It will grow to bigger than you are...
And if you drive around in the country at dawn or dusk, best measure is your trucks front looks like the mine...Its pretty tough, Ive hit a few with sadly.. 4 in 3 months, on our trip across the top of Australia roughly 8,500kms there and back. Driving at speed that is safe against these roadside terrorists is out of the question, unless you want to put another few weeks on your trip.
My case in point...
That is a Kangaroo, this is a Wallaby. Very different creatures...
To this day I still resist to inform tourists of the difference, when they call a Wallaby a Kangaroo. Instead I just warn them of the Drop Bears..
Lesson on Australian Marsupials over.. Hope it serves you well if any of you come over for a visit...
Ill be covering, snakes, spiders and crocodiles and jellyfish "In particular the box Jellyfish and the Irukandji jellyfish, Ive been stung by both" in further editions of the tourists guide to Australia, if you intend to get wet whet when its as hot as Hades ..
