That's terrible medusa.
I have hit a few rabbits and that was enough, so horrible.

I bet none of you have ever hit a tortoise  ;D  I must have just clipped his shell enough to send him flying through the air into a paddock - if he kept all his parts tucked away he should have been fine.

We don't see too many of them Judy. There is one spot just slightly north of the city you may see them but I have never seen one in using that road for 45 years.

I had a holiday in Tasmania recently (loved it) but so much road kill on the verges compared with WA. I think it's because the density of wildlife and people is a lot more than in WA. Sad to see so many dead wallabies, echidnas etc 😔

I get very sad and emotional when I see all the wombats  on the SA side of the Nullabor drive. We don't have them here in WA. they man at the Ceduna information centre told us they go out once a week to remove the bodies ( throw them in the bush I think) as there are so many on the road. Roos and emus don't worry me much, unless we hit one, and touch wood we haven't done that yet.
