When I saw this being filmed a couple of days ago I just had to add it here. That 3ft owl story reminded me to go and find this link.

Big emus.

That collision with a motorbike happened way out of town and when you live in the bush, its to be expected that there could be an emu or kangaroo around every corner.

Anyway, I think they are a wonderful addition to the town.
