we are going soon from penrith to stanthorpe and we are thinking to go throught the putty road we be leaving early in the morning(4 o -clock)could someone know if there is kangaroos on that road at night?
Feeding on the slight greening along the road verges. Dew run-off.
Expect animals including stock on any road though and that includes city suburban, eg roos and deer in Brisbane.
Even travelling at 80kph between dusk and dawn will result in animal strikes or near misses, but especially in the dry that inevitably follows rainy spells (population booms).
No the Wombats are in Western Australia where all they do is dig holes and sell what they find they would not have found their way to the best state yet

You had better ask Wombat. He is in the best position to know about what kangaroos are about, and where.

I think there may be some warning signs but gosh I've driven it at night, day without a problem. In heat I have seen 40 odd kangaroos on a property taking shelter so they are around.
I prefer to travel after 10:00 in the morning for this reason.
Also at the break of day is the worst time to travel as the sun will be in someones eyes, many night drivers are getting tired and usually have their crashes just on dawn as well as all animals are usually getting their last feed for the night or getting their first if the a day time feeders.
If you need to travel at this time of day ensure you have your roo whistles installed and you have 4 eyes firmly fixed on the road and the verges on both sides.
I am glad I have the rest of my life to see this country and what I miss out on will be too bad, but I have no wish to hurry towards the end.
Regards
Brian
