Australia : Western Australia - Roadkill

Living out of a suitcase isn't glamorous at all (but I guess it's better than living out of a BACKPACK!)

Road-tripped for 8 days and every day, had to check out hostel/hotel/motel by 930am...one night, we drove too late at night. It was scary.

Roads were scarily dark and very dangerous - kangaroos, cows and wild animals were on the road but couldn't see them half the time.

Saw lots of roadkill by the side of the road. We killed something too. *confession time*

It was a bird. Or a rat.

The kangaroos were so weird though. They would be standing on the side of the road till our car approached them and only then, would they start hopping across the road - into the path of the car! When we honked the horn, they would stop and stare for 2 seconds then hop across the road. It was like they were challenging us "Kill me if you dare!"

I wanted to run one over...just cos I am a crazy mad bitch and roasted kangaroo meat would be nice meal - but then, the consequences of having to pay to fix the car and getting stranded in the middle of nowhere put me off...and also the possibility of killing oneself is pretty high especially if they crash into the windscreen.

That night, I was SEMI-hoping that a lady dressed in white and pushing a pram would cross the road as we were driving.... *classic horror movie scenario alert*

hehe

Unfortunately, nothing adventurous like that happened. Instead, we had to pull into this small town where no accommodation was in sight. We camped out in the car. It was horrible and cold. I barely slept. The next morning, I looked like I belonged to a horror movie. Lol.

RIP - little bird/rat we roadkilled
