Re: Where's Pet-els?
I was disappointed with crocodile, sword fish and young marlin taste better and a heck of a lot cheapersupersparky wrote:Dunno about how good camel tastes, but I reckon that it isn't as good as crocodile.T1 Terry wrote:It was a wet and high humidity day here Peter so you made a good choice..... Does this mean the new Mustang isn't really built for Australian conditionsPity about the emu but they taste great cooked up on the BBQ so if you see any more fresh road kill like that pop it in the freezer
Camel is great eating as well, but I'm guessing it would take a truck to knock one of those over and there probably wouldn't be much worth eating by the time the truck was finished with it.
A few years back my brother was a train driver on the Cook to Norseman run across the Nullabor. They used to actively try to stop the train if there was a camel on the track. Apparently with the big long neck it wasn't uncommon for the head to hit the windscreen.
I have had the mis-fortune to be a passenger in a car that has hit an emu. It's a bit like hitting a brick pillow at 100 kmh. Big bang and then feathers everywhere. Never a good result for the emu.

I'm here, arrived Mannum after lunch [at Sedan Pub, top steak] and safely parked in the T1 Lithium Yard.

Welcome "home" Peter! We'll return to decent temperatures now you're here!
Shonky chickened out & turned around & headed back to NSW but I think he's in the 42 degree area too now...........

You scared Shonky off Peter, he thought you might give him some bush bashing driving lessons

I used to drive trains to Cook from Pt Augusta and have hit quite a few camels. One day driving the Ghan out of Alice Springs a herd started to cross the tracks and when I blew the whistle they turned and loped along the line and I bowled them over like ten pins, they had to get a gang out to destroy those that were injured. It wasn't uncommon to see just a head hanging off the front of a loco, but nothing stank as much as sheep.

Re: Where's Pet-els?
Galah trapped between the exhaust pipes and engine on a motor bike would have to go close to the worst stink. Made much worse because the rider didn't realise it had happened until slowing for town or stopping for fuel, then the smell entered the full face helmet and refused to leavebut nothing stank as much as sheep.
