    Default Could someone translate this?

    Maybe one of our mates down under can help me understand the meaning of this sign. All I can think of is "Caution - Falling Rock and Kangaroos".

    Our local news showed two Kangaroos kicking eachother's A's today. Filmed on Infra-red camera. You may have seen it. Maybe they kick rocks down onto passing cars too. Vicious things.

    It's warning you about car-hating Skippy who sits on top of cliffs and kicks boulders onto your vehicle. Either that or they're those Kiwi rock wallabies.

    As for roos kicking the crap out of each other; they do it all the time but especially at this time of year. I can see a couple from my window at the moment but they're just chillin' and not fighting. No need for infra-red when they're trying to prove their assertiveness and wow the chix.

    Translation: "Beware falling rocks and Skippy the Kamikazi Kanga".

    Our Kanga's have a habit of leaping out of the bush and entering our cars via the windshield .... that's their way of hitching a lift

    Beware of falling rocks and falling kangaroo's.............a little known fact is Kangaroo's are very near sighted and in mountainous terrain are often seen falling off mountains...........hence.......falling Kangaroo's can be a very serious obstacle to vehicles and their occupants.
    By the way........if anyone is interested in buying the Brooklyn Bridge please contact me.
