We hit another qantas this morning, just about 9:00. This one just magically appeared on the right side of the narrow, one lane sand track through the bush, then suddenly 'bang' we hit it. Then, just as magically, it was bounding along the left side of the car, keeping pace with us for a short bit before heading off into the bush, stopping, and staring back at us.

Literally, we drove over it.

We almost hit another one just ten minutes later. This time, it headed straight for the car across this low scrubby plain, like the car had a homing beacon on it or something. We missed it by two feet or so.

Do all kangaroos have a death wish?

They have about 9 lives... and yes they just bounce back to life, if they haven't run out of life vouchers! lol Just keep an eye out for the bovine UFO!

You got it wrong! A Qantas, when I was there, referred to a Koala. :) Did the defintion change? :P

He's talking about the image on the QANTAS logo. I personally have never heard of a "QANTAS" being a koala. Where did you hear that?

In North America, QANTAS would use Koalas talking in a seat of an airplane, talking about deals.

So the big running joke when I was there was, "Oh look! Theres a Qantas!" referring to the Koalas.
