Im concerned with the amount of Kangaroos with no road sense on the road between Perth and Geraldton.
I know there are a bunch of you guys kiting in random locations between the 'Low wind/no wave traffic light ridden crowded place' and 'Wind/Wave heaven 5 hours north of there'. So you guys must regularly come across these side walk offenders.
Skippy is a clever animal, he instinctively knows good bush tucker and where to dig in the sand dunes to find water. Currently his road sense sucks.

Like all good associations. I think we can train Skippy to stay off the road.
All we need to do is a simple beep beeep or honk hoonk to disturb him every time he is seen.
Eventually he will catch on that the road is a scary place to hang out.
Im actually dead serious about this.

Hey Kiters

Playing chicken in the traffic is one of the rare highlights out here. A few guys get bumped every now and then but - hey - if it ain't dangerous, it ain't fun. A few chicaroos are even taking up the sport now.

But thing is, most families are back in the bush catching zeds. And lately we've had cars zooming up and down the highway blowing their horns. Beep beep bloody beep, all night bloody long. I can tell you, it's got us all really jumpy.

What is it with you guys???? Is there no wind??? Go back out and pester the fish.

Skippy is a clever animal



Fun fact for the day:

They're actually pretty dumb - tinny brain. As with all native Australian animals, evolving in a dry environment (normally) means the animals that need the least amount of nutrients to operate survived - the brain takes up a lot of nutrients, so, the easy way around that is to have a small one!

They'll always hangout at the side of the road..... it's where the best grass is, espseailly during dry season. The morning dew run off gives the grass a little drink each morning.

I've used the "RooShoo's" - small whistles mounted on the front of the car that operate once you hit 60KPH. They seem to have worked, the roo's get spooked well before the car arrives.
