PSA – You Have Peak Hour Traffic and I Have……

by Robbo on 31/08/2008

Well we don’t have too many vehicles blocking the road but we have other hazards on the road. These big buggers becomes even more of a danger at night. You might not see them, but often you can smell them.

Outback Australia has the largest wild herds of single humped dromedaries in the world. Shooters have taken a few thousand head out of here over the last twelve months. Not that you would notice.

This was taken on a digital camera and then by the time Youtube do their thing the quality is a little poor. But you’ll get the gist of it. The sound effects are real.
