brings back memories..driving down the newell through the Pillaga scrub at 2am...roo came out of nowhere..landed right in front of the drivers side headlight...bent the bullbar...driving lights then aimed at the sky and RH headlight facing downwards...a fun few hours driving till daylight with little light aimed properly. I did not have a shoo roo on...I have seen the front of a bus that had them on..all broken..roo hit them..must not have liked the sound.

if your worried about hitting a kangaroo my advice would be dont drive at night.

Hi Guys

I have used them for many years and found they worked but not well over 95 to 100k as the "time to hit" was too short.

I always found that the roo that I had to worry about was the second and third in the mob and at slower speeds they were less of a problem as they heard the whistle and propped.

What does seem to lessen Shoo Roos effectiveness is spiders that make them their home!

Both I and the boss found that mice can be a worry on the road, especcially if you have been watching for roos for a few hours and your very tired.

Swerving to miss a roo or a mouse! is frought with danger and even though trees dont jump its still all too easy to hit them especially after a vigorous swerve.

Happy outbacking; personally I'm enjoying not having to worry about that stuff any more.

Merry Xmas to you (s)

PS Pinhead You got to love the Piliger track; especially on a dark nite when its bucketing down, the combination of potholes and a narrow track with trucks is really hard to beat!
