A roo's tale

Thanks Bundah, I’m working on them.

I reckon you got the speed right with the new time lapse thingy you’ve posted.

There’s a dead wallaby/small roo at the base of Red Hill too, a few meters off Mugga Way. Although it doesn’t look like it was road kill.

🙁

So, golf balls and motorcycle descriptors aside, does anyone have a theory on why there may have been a recently hacked off section of Roo tail at Sheppard’s?

I read in the reports of the cull that a percentage of the (tasty, tasty) ‘roo meat was to be used to bait ferals. Is it possible this has been dragged from a bait site?

There was a spotted-tail quoll seen in Macgregor in 2008 (I think?), so I fervently hope there’s a population hanging on in the outer reaches and this is a quoll feast interrupted.

Probably not though. Caching by foxes or human-flotsam feckwittery would be my guesses.

I’m amazed that Triumph still make a scrambler..

Bundah has revived some old memories with his mention of a Triumph Scrambler. My Brother had one; early 60’s I think.

I wonder if the muppet on the bike is the same one who has been driving golf balls from the lookout into the river?

Somehow I lost the link to the evidence.

But does it really matter what we call the type of bike ridden buy a selfish moron in one of the few “off lead” dog walking areas in Canberra?

Interesting to see that Shepherds Lookout is an off-lead area. I hadn’t noticed that before (or ever seen a dog out there). Some googling quickly showed me thought, that actually there is rather a lot of off lead areas in Canberra, much more then I thought.

Who uses the word “Scrambler” these days to define a dirt bike?

I do, obviously.
