A friendly reminder to adopt “Island time” while commuting on the Island.
With a high number of Kangaroos being hit and killed, we need to just drive a
little slower, being extra careful early morning and late afternoon.
Remembering the speed limit is 50km unless signed otherwise.
Kangaroos
have poor eye sight and take fright quickly. They are unpredictable in the
direction you think they might go often jumping infront of cars without
warning.
It was very sad to see one of our rare Albino Kangaroos hit and killed
in May.
