There’s a certain stench in the air. I have never seen so many dead kangaroos in my life. The road from Dirranbandi to St George in south west Queensland is littered with them. I tried counting for a kilometre, my conservative estimate was 45. Driving this road inovolves cutting and weaving the carcasses. They’re not all on the edge like in this photo. And there arehuge numbers of birds feeding on them, all on the road. I’m not sure if it’s just the drought, or if the road trains take out multiples in one hit, but the extent of this is something I’ve never seen before. And while dawn and dusk at the danger times, there are still plenty around in daylight hours. There are things I had planned to do before I left home, that I just didn’t get to. Buying a set of kangaroo whistles is one of them. I’ll be doing that in the next town.
This Is How I Roll
