Rumor once had it McDees burgers were made from Kangaroo before they advertised '100% Beef'

I would not doubt it!!!

Certainly no shortage, estimates on numbers are anything up to 50 million although the current drought is having a effect on numbers with tens of thousands dying in the semi desert country.
I seem to average hitting one about every 12 months, daughter had a total driving time of 10 hours before she collected her first.
Im surprised the climate change advocates havent started pushing roo meat as an alternative to beef given their low methane emissions compared to cattle.

Roo meat is delicious too. I’d eat it regularly if it were more common here. We do have some at our local butcher shop, but only as mince.

I tried but just can’t tell... Holden? Falcon? Just too much bar in front to tell. I’d be in a VDJ76 probably, or maybe a 70 series dual cab with a tray. Wouldn’t be nearly as fast on a long drive like that though!

Well son is currently doing this trip again, had a call from him just before dawn to say he is making good time. No roos so far but he had just hit a pig at over 70mph. As you can imagine a pig makes quite a impact, somehow blew the fuse on his driving lights and the window washer bottle is beyond repair but other than that no major damage that he can see. The quick picture I saw the splatter along the side would indicate he was doing every bit of 70mph and a wash will certainly be needed.

This is his current drive, same year model as the previous one and similar sized bar. Might not be quite as straight as it was in the picture. Personally think they still look good for what is now a 20 year old car. Have what I consider the best inline 6 ever made. 4L DOHC 24valve with variable timing around 250hp in stock NA form close to 500hp from some of the turbo versions. In NA form they are virtually indestructible plenty that have done 1 million km without being touched. Even gaining a bit of a following in the USA with modified car crowd as turboed they will make 600hp on virtually stock internals, 1000hp + with mods and still be suitable as a daily driver and well over 2000hp if really pushed.

What is it? A Ridgeline?
I only ask that because of the sloping rear quarters. Heck of a roo guard!

Glad the boy is okay. The pigs here get huge. We've got to break down and put brush bars on the two Nissans. Not only because the deer are getting bigger and thicker, but because we have taken great care of the trucks and I know the full coverage won't come close to replacing them.

Heck of a roo guard! indeed .... it looks much more beefed up than the ones I've seen on semi trucks around here

220 will be back to answer but as I recall he said it was a Falcon. Certainly not the Falcon we all grew up with here in “The States”.
