Useful purchases #1.
Bull bar - After travelling 32,500 kilometres and having no need to rely on the heavy duty bull bar.
It proved to be a worthwhile purchase, when , on our trip to catch the Fraser Island Ferry. 9.00am on a clear day, we were unlucky to hit a large male kangaroo, he stood at 6ft and was quite solid.
The Roo hopped right in front of the car and we collected him at about 75km/h. He had totalled himself and yours truly had the grim task of moving the big fella off the road.
It was a rather sad start to the day.
The car was undamaged due to the bull bar. Everyone was shaken but not stirred.
