Thought for Today

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

How do you “cull kangaroos over the phone or online”?
Maybe delete your Skippy videos? 😳🙄

You drop the height of those fencing wire party lines that go from the exchange out to the many properties up the same road, then chase the 'roos with the shootin' wagon and they hang themselves on the wires ......
Not quite sure how you do it on line, unless you have someone talking on the party line when the roo gets itself tangled up in the cable, then wind the handle for all your worth and shock the shitte out of it :lol:

Did see quite a few cleaned up along the Bogan Gate line (so that was on line so to speak) where the train goes through a grid crossing between properties .... always had us wondering how it happened, the train didn't go much faster than running pace at the best of times so how come the stupid roo didn't just get out of the way ..... they sure make a mess and stink when the get caught between the sides of the grid crossing and the loco and 40 odd wheat wagons following it .....

The trains usually play skittles at night. The roos just run down their own shadow cast by the loco headlight. Just ask any country train driver. Sort of like natural selection.

You would think the driver would swerve to avoid the roos :D

Thinking about it,if a train kills roos on the railway track,isn't that culling on line? ;) Just saying
