kangaroos every day, escapee sheep and cattle, the odd wombat, once in town it's the tourists and closer to work it's kids on scooters and bikes...I'm a teacher! An no, it's never crossed my mind to accidentally bump one off  >:D

Had to dodge a wheelbarrow which fell off the back of a tradie's ute one night.  A freckle puckering moment on a motorcycle.

mainly ****wit drivers who shouldn't have a license.. specially around Springvale and Box Hill where one member of the family gets a license for the whole extended family.

I try to dodge work, doesn't often work though!

The odd echidna here and there. Today it seemed to be a lot of Ballarat swap meet attendees that needed dodging, as well as some drivers who can't understand that my trailer is really long and if you pull put into an intersection too far I might have to pull the bogey axles across you bonnet!!

Hi,
   Driving to .....  ?  Oh!  Yes, that place.
 
Almost forgot that I used to do that. 


It isn't there any more - they moved it  somewhere into the city, so I retired.
