 53 metres overall in length by K.Knight
These road trains take longer for you to overtake and they take longer to stop if you stop suddenly in front of them!!! (road trains weigh up to 140 tonne and are 53 metres overall in length.)
A little courtesy on the road goes a long way with these guys! The general advice to motorists if you see a road train coming is to pull off the road a distance, if possible, and wait. Depending on the wind direction, the cloud of dust will prevent vision and hide small boulders and other debris bouncing along in the truck's wake.
Just remember..They are at work and you are on holiday. Leave a Comment

 Off the beaten track! by K.Knight
If you are traveling in your own vehicle and wish to take that road or track, research what is down there or where you are going by asking the Locals! Once you have chosen a destination, tell the local police where you are heading to, which way you are going and when you should return. You should also pack enough food and water for an extra couple of days, a hat, torch, matches etc in case you get stranded.
If you told the police where you were heading to and time of arrival/return, and you do not report back, they will send someone out to look for you!
Remember, if your car breaks down STAY WITH YOUR CAR! You will be easier to find.
Just make sure you do report back to police when you return so that you do not waste their time and money looking for you! Leave a Comment

 Walk here in safety by TheWanderingCamel
Over on 'totherside (ie NSW, Qld, Vic) you'll find nasties such as ticks and funnelweb spiders but here in Western Australia there really isn't anything creepy or crawly that's out to get you. Leave a Comment

If you plan to go to Rottnest Island, do bring along some anti seasick tablets... just in case its a rough day at sea...
It was a rainy and windy morning on the day I went to Rottnest and the sea was choppy! Many ppl on the boat got sick... So don't spoil your day... Take preventive measures if you are prone to seasick... ;)

Being shy creature they usually stay away from people, but some of them can be found where you least expect them. I discovered a brown snake under the bench I was sitting on!
DON'T try to kill them, they usually move away without bothering you.
If you do bushwalking, stay on the paths! Leave a Comment

When camping, make sure you extinguish your fires completely. Be careful of cigarette butts. If you see smoke in the close proximity, head for the nearest open space. Leave a Comment

 Drop Bears live high up
in Eucalyptus trees. by Purpleshade
Very few, however have heard of the drop-bears.
These ferocious nocturnal creatures which live high up in old eucalyptus trees are related to the koala. Koalas, however, live on leaves which are very low in nutrients and are very slow and sleepy. The Drop Bear is carnivorous, a fast hunter and a vicious killer, eating anything it can get it’s claws on, even large red kangaroos which can easily be eight feet tall.
They drop down on their victims from high in the trees (hence the term DROP bear), causing locals in areas where they are believed to be active to wear hard-hats when working out in the bush.
No-one I know has ever seen one, but there’s always someone who knows someone who might have seen one, or knows of someone who disappeared in unexplained circumstances while wandering alone at night. Many feel they could be responsible for the disappearances of those campers who misguidedly wander take a walk at night to look at the stars.
These creatures never show themsleves to anyone carrying a camera.
