DON'T THIS BE YOU & KANGAROO ROAD HAZARDS THE GRAMPIANS
Kangaroos are often dazzled by headlights or startled by engine noise. These animals are known to often jump in front of road traffic. 'Beware of kangaroos' signs are commonplace in Australia. Throughout mainland Australia all drivers on roads may encounter kangaroos hopping around them or in front of their vehicle. Also the smaller wallaby is likely to dart across in front of cars. Dusk and dawn is a particular risky time in rural settings. Remember if there is one wildlife road hazard out in front, there's almost certain to be multiple wildlife in the same place at the same time. Do not avoid the first and then hit the second emerging from the roadside. Do not leave the road and all ways brake straight. Even if it means a collision with wildlife. There may be available a phone number to report injured wildlife.
The kangaroo population of the Grampians National Park is amongst the highest in the state of Victoria. As a result, serious vehicle collisions do occur. Kangaroo's are a significant roadside hazard.
