Residents plagued by crazy kangaroos

Residents in part of Australia are said to be living in fear of aggressive kangaroos.Kangaroos in Victoria are stressed and starving because of drought.They have caused countless car accidents and have been scaring locals.

Noel Maughan, MP for Rodney in central Victoria, told the Sydney Morning Herald he had been lobbying the government for months.

He said: "There's an anecdote of a kangaroo attacking and killing a dog and clearly children that go out on their own are at risk of being attacked."

(I KNOW THAT BIT IS NOT TOO FUNNY BUT)

Mr Maughan said one woman was "living in fear" of 40 kangaroos which invade her garden each night.

Local resident Arnold Lovell said an ambulance he called to his home had been blocked by about 30 kangaroos in his driveway.

He said: "I need this property cleared of kangaroos because I don't know when I'm going to need an ambulance in a hurry."

Mr Lovell said he had been forced to hide in his shed when a two metre kangaroo menaced him as he was about to feed his cow.

...THE ABOVE JUST CONJURES UP SOME REAL STRONG VISUAL IMAGES

Kangaroos are right hard nuts.

They wouldn't win a polar bear in a fight though.

That's why they evolved in a separate hemisphere. Darwin innit

Have they tried telling them to hop it

Or feeding the poor buggers, somewhere out of town, of course.

I think mrs fish works as a PH news reporter, ie. reports news to us which we might have missed otherwise.

I always try to keep the bird bath full in summer so they can get a drink. And they do a wonderful job of keeping the grass down.
Just wish they had some road sense. Many a car has flat spotted it's tyres outside my place. Their brains are in neutral when they are travelling and they just go straight across roads. Ruined many a good car, and the thought of hitting one on a bike.....
