Wallabies and kangaroos come out to drink after light rain in the Flinders Ranges (South Australia) – Q26s2U29dH

January 29th, 2012 · 3 Comments

Light rain brought out wallabies and kangaroos to the road to drink from the shallow puddles. This was filmed early in 2012, just outside Wilpena Pound.




Tip:

When driving your 4x4 off road, it is important not to place your thumbs on the inside of the steering wheel. When driving over any large ruts or potholes, the wheel could suddenly turn. This may result in the thumb being bruised or even dislocated if it is left inside the rim. Remembering to leave your thumbs on the outside of the steering wheel is a very easy skill to acquire and should become second nature to you. With power steering fitted to most 4x4's these days, this technique is not as critical as the power steering unit dampens out sudden steering wheel movements as well as steering stabilizers. Owners of non-power steering vehicles will have undoubtedly experienced at some time the force at which the steering wheel turns when hitting an obstruction.

    It’s the correct side if you’re driving upside down. The inverse polarity de-distorition of YouTube make the images something crazy!
