Here's a current kangaroo story from Sydney...

Bondi Junction motorcyclist hits kangaroo, slides into path of oncoming car
November 13, 2009 - 6:29AM

A motorcyclist has died following a collision with a kangaroo on NSW's south coast.

Police said the 39-year-old man was riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle south along the Princes Highway in Nowra about 4.15pm yesterday when a kangaroo jumped onto the road.

The animal hit the rider, causing him to fall off the bike and slide into the path of an oncoming Toyota Landcruiser, police said.

The man, from Bondi Junction, suffered extensive injuries and was pronounced dead on arrival at Shoalhaven Hospital.

The road was closed while officers from Shoalhaven Local Area Command examined the area.

The kangaroo was not found at the crash, police said.

Bloody roos!!

There should be electric fences along the roads in populated areas where there is heavier traffic a more chance of a collision.

Its the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.. what did they ever do with the bulk of it? I say we put it back up around the hwys, machine gun nests and all.
Waste not, want not. Should be a good jobs program too.

You could always just go buy a Ford F450 Super Duty and then not really worry about hitting anything....

Haha...kangaroos aren't smart animals

What the news report didn't explain for international readers is that it jumped onto the guy riding the Harley...they like jumping, they do it a lot. Thinking...not so much

They'll jump over any fence less than 4m that's built & we just accept that they're dumb jumpers & do our best to avoid them

Josh, that my friend is a UTE - designed in Australia. The camino is your version of the original

Yes it's a real picture, as has been said by the Aussies, kanga's are tough bastards & you need something like this to protect your car

Ha! They've got one for my car! Its the same as the Ford "Terrortory" Mine didn't come w/ that hoodscoop tho, and they gave it a stupid name. I'm calling it the Terrortory now.

If I had the sidebars that would have saved it. Luckily with my driving I was able to avoid him hitting the front, and instead he rammed the side/wheel (they done it twice now on two cars...)
