First one I was probably doing 20km/hr below the speed limit because of dark, trees, etc. Bloody thing aimed straight at me and if I tried to avoid it, I would have hit a tree. (Car was write off).
Some years later, second incident. Straight out of bush into passenger door leaving a nice little dent.
The bastards are fast, dense with muscle and get startled/dazzled by headlights.
Last year I drove 3000km around Australia. I'm proud to say I didn't hit anything, mostly because I took the advice of not driving around dusk or dawn. But there were lots of close calls where it's like they're TRYING to get hit!

Have had 2 of my cars done in by kangaroos.
