Hopped into our local dealer...

At least a drop bear didn't fall on one of the cars. Could have cause a fair bit of damage.

Seen last friday in the Porsche-Citroen-Alfa Romeo-Fiat-Maserati dealership.

Is Gulson's still just up from that roundabout in Fishsticks? If so...where the hell did the roo come from? And how did it not wind up gettting splattered on Newcastle St?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

This roo is obviously a ninja in Disguise.

Yes thats the spot, and roos are still everywhere .. eg we had one grazing in our garden at home the other day. With the ongoing drought I guess local motorists have by now gotten pretty used to dodging kangas, although it seems this particular one did cop some kind of a love tap on its way through to the hardware store

Gulson Canberra - History

Btw, pathetic that the reporter managed to misspell both the store ('Golsons') and its product ('Alpha')

Or drops out of trees... or better yet.. trees.

yeah i wanna visit australia so damn bad but i'm scared to death of spiders and from what i understand, they all get to be massive down there.

[NSXType-R]

Haha, that's pretty funny. Hope they got it out and don't have to clean up after it.

[drakkie]

Only in Australia... LoL'ed big time here! I soooo have to visit that crazy ass place some day!

When I lived right out in the sticks I got a bad load of delivered firewood which unbeknownst was infested with giant huntsman spiders (australian tarantula genus) that were dead-set as big as your most widely extended fingerspan - thumb to little finger, and then some.

Well they bred up and loved the woodpile almost as much as the dry warm house, so bringing a fresh load of firewood usually meant introducing another fresh load of spiders into the living room. Once they were inside, you'd spot them crawling up the walls and they were such hefty buggers that you couldn't kill 'em with an energetic thong slap (footwear) no matter how hard you swung it, instead they required being smashed with the heel of a work boot.

Fair dinkum it was a messy business and by the time I moved out there were all these massive green solidified dribbles running down the walls of every room from dead huntsmen. It took several years and a fair few bites to finally get rid of the last of them.

Surely, s/he was looking for a Renault Kangoo.

I think I would have given up on wood and let my house stay cold...

[f6fhellcat13]

I don't blame the roo, I want that Alfa too.
As for Australian wildlife, well, haha!

[pimento]

I used to have huntsmen in our house when I was a lad, but they weren't that big. We also left them alone.. they kept down the mozzie population.

Then again, in that house we had a 1.5 metre long racehourse goanna that lived in the ceiling. Never had any mice or rats to worry about..
