We have also Crocodiles,Man eating Coalas , Crusher Wombats and our Rabbits have a tendency to stampede. Everything in their way is crushed and destroyed. It horrible. If you seen it once, You know what mayhem really means. The only tame animals here are the Kangaroos. They are used in the supermarkets as shopping trolleys. They have the advantage over the conventional trolleys, that they don't need to be collected from the car park or the neighbor hood streets. They come back to where the food is. Then we also have the so called "Killer Aborigines" . The come in to the cities and trough Boomerangs at the population. No Boomerang has as yet been captured, they all came back to the owners. Here in Melbourne it is quite common, that, if a person hears a whirling type of a sound, the person yells: "Duck" and you'll find most of the population on the ground. However here in Melbourne we have learned to live with all this perils. The only real fear we ever have, Is to see a Bunyip. This is a distant slightly inbred relative of the Unicorn. I just hope and pray, that I never see one ever. Regards, .........MY goodd ccrrccchh , what this chrrrrrrrrrrrrrr aahhhhhh. Horst
