It is amazing how far the poor koala was wedged in the bumper before it was noticed, like 10kms later before it was noticed!

Not long after getting my CJ I think I hit a cat on a badly lit road, no damage so maybe it got away with one less life?

Last week driving a small 3Ton truck for a charity I hit a Turkey. Yes a small native Turkey about the size of a decent chicken decided to try and take off as we passed it on an 80kay road. It hit the windscreen right in front of me with a thud and all I saw in the mirrors was feathers flying. Couldn't stop but I'm pretty it was Isuzu 1 Turkey 0.

Lucky it was a non turbo so there was a nice gap behind the grille
