Well not the best start to our xmas break. The Senator is a little worse for ware. We are all ok and very lucky. Was lucky I didnt swerve otherwise we would be down a 2 oe 3 meter high bank!

Will grab his head for you greg when I go past it again tomorrow.

To all the 100 people that drove straight past without stopping thankyou. There whrere only 2 people that stopped to check if we are ok. 2 out of 100? good onya Australia. It was obvious. on the side of the road. bonnet etc smashed in. Me with hands in air. 5 year old son in tears. Yes cheers to all the people who drove straight past. To those who gave us a toot as they went past go ..... Yaself. =)

Crash guys are saying 9K or more! Thank god for insurance.

Shannons where not helpful. It seemed they could not give a crap about our situation. Oh how did she say it. Thats right its I QUOTE EXACTLY
"its just bad luck we are stuck in middle of no where"

Sorry Shannons I will not insure with a bunch of unhelpful inconsiderate people like you anymore.

Bad luck Jason. Glad all were ok if a bit shaken. Got a few hoppers down there by the looks?
People wont stop for anything anymore by the sounds of it.

That is terrible that no one stopped!
I Always stop, I like to think that if i was in a bad situation that someone would help me out.. maybe not so.

just quietly is the smashed windscreen where the emu's head hit? did you go over it, or did it go over you? or did it just plain old bounce?
