Driving @ night

Driving at night in Australia, especially in the west, it's normally a lonely time.

But that doesn't mean at all that one can just happily speed on his way home.

As soon as the sun sets, all the animals come out to 'play', like this kangaroo here that was lucky enough to pass the road before us without harm.

We've been told that a kangaroo or even an emu is enough to damage your car to the point of leaving you stranded in the middle of nowhere.

But we've seen better: imagine cows standing on the road, sleeping. Apparently they like the warmth radiating from the asphalt.

But the animals are not the only danger - the road trains continue on their long voyages across Australia at night.
