When I lived in Kalgoorlie hitting roos and bush chooks was a pretty regular occurance , I put a set of shu roos on the front of me ute and didn't hit one until they fell off , then I started hitting them again. It might have been a coincidence but for $7 a pair why not take the punt ???

Well if we have 12 or so cars going we could split the cost and put them on the car that will be leading , thats just over 59 cents each

on the other side of that i know someone that put some on there car and hit a roo that night but they weren't the cheap whistle type ones and for a few bucks i don't think it can hurt, i think a noisey car has the same effect

I know I'll close my vent window going through that section and let it whistle! No?

Maybe I shouldn't have replaced my quarter vent rubbers

MMMMMMMM my two favorite things...

Hate to have to tell you this, folk - but when we hit the 'roo coming out of Yamba - we had two of the chrome plated shoers fitted....
Perhaps the 'roo we hit was deaf...?
Will be fitting bigger ones for this trip, though.....

Must drive faster Rosco... get the wind going through them to make a noise ......

Good suggestion, Garry - sadly we only had a littel 6 cylinder in ours..... but it was obviously fast enough to catch the 'roo crossing the road....

Might need to consider coming over to Mt. G in a vehicle with an "8" - like yours this time, Garry..... will that be fast enough to get the "shoer's" working..?
I believe you'll get there first, let me know if yours keep them away...or, if I see you go past - might just try and sneak into your 'slip.... please keep out of the stones if I do.....

Just bye the by - we have almost set out our agenda for the trip over - the return trip is "out there" at the moment.

Leave here on Thursday via (almost) Geelong and Hamilton then down to Portland for the night. Make a leisurely run from Portland via the coast to Mt. G - arriving just after lunch on Friday.... we've booked into the Central CP..... anyone else in that park?
We realise we simply carry too much stuff to fit in the allocated space at the motel.... so, as we have done on many occasions - staying at the CP - sorry, folk - just call us "outsiders"....

This park has cabins for those who are interested.

frats,
Rosco

Morning Rosco and all travellers
I spoke to the Central Caravan park where you are staying some time ago and at that stage I was told that there were 8 cabins booked by people coming to the nationals.
So you shouldn't be"lonely"
cheers

Sorry Rosco but the Black Beast will not be there....... it has moved to greener pastures.....long story but will fill you in at the Nats. If we pass you it will be because you are parked because we are driving a thumpin' grey also!! Will be great to finally meet you in person Rosco.
