Animals and wildlife on the road while driving in Aaustralia
- Pictures say a 1000 words
� We know you know the basics and by now probably well versed and
researched on driving on dirt roads but if not here some helpful
information for your upcoming 4wd camper vacation in Australia.
� Don't drive after dusk and before dawn in the bush. Camels, Horses,
Wild Turkeys, Wild Feral Dogs, Wild Feral Cats, Deer, Cattle, Dingos,
Foxes, Wallaby's, Kangaroos (Roo's), Crocodiles (yep 2 have been
apparently seen on Darwin roads over the years), flocks of birds
such as Galah's and Kitty Hawks (especially during and after the
great Burn Offs on the Arnhem Highway where Marg and myself witness
seeing 100's of Kitty Hawks as we call them circling and diving
on the bush and road in September trip was 2008) and more often
use the road after dark. My mate Barrie hit 3 Roo's within a 10klm
stretch near Timber Creek back in the 2000's he was going out to
fix some remote IT stations.

Martjin Marg and I hope to see you again see
� The Buntine Highway even though the road looks clear if a horse
bolted 300 metres in front of you it can reach from the grasslands
to that verge in around 3 seconds that's limited time for you to
correct your driving or avoid. So driving slowler is much safer.

Notes:
� Fatigue causes many crashes in Australia.
� When driving long distances, stop and rest every 1-2 hours.
� Try to have someone sit beside you to keep you company driving
as our NT roads can be long and straight. (But not distract you)
� Alcohol and driving don�t mix.
� The blood alcohol level is 0.05.
� Seat belts and child restraints must be worn by all vehicle
occupants.
� Always carry a copy of your driver�s license in English.
� Take plenty of water on all outback trips;
� Check distances and driving conditions; and ensure you have
adequate petrol at all times.
� Remember, rule �Number 1� in the Outback: if your car breaks
down you MUST stay with your vehicle for safety reasons.
� Don�t drive after dark.
� Parks & Wildlife Commission Northern Territory provides information
on Camping, National Parks, and Permits.
� Ensure you are informed re the safety of swimming in the �Top
End� � many areas are not safe to swim due to crocodiles.
