Does this mean the new Mustang isn't really built for Australian conditions ;) Pity 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 :D 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.
Dunno about how good camel tastes, but I reckon that it isn't as good as crocodile.
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 was disappointed with crocodile, sword fish and young marlin taste better and a heck of a lot cheaper :lol: Both emu and camel are very red full blood meats where croc is more fish/chicken like flesh.... unless what I paid big $$ for wasn't croc after all :?

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...........

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.

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 leave :lol: In either case you were stuck with the roasted remains till you could find some where to clean it off, never a popular practice in the service station forecourt but you couldn't leave until you had fuelled up and paid :?
