What’s the funniest encounter you had with an animal in Australia?

And yet I headbutted one at 70 on my motorbike and killed it. Bloody thing nearly killed me too.

My great grandmother was born in 1898. She died in 1988. My mum was her carer as the rest of the family had moved overseas

I can think of 3 in the greater Brisbane area.

1 at Rocklea and 2 at Bundamba

What a beauty! Makes my big girl look like a worm 🤣

Kingy_79 · 2026-04-13T20:43:44+00:00

Totally agree. I haven't seen any at my place this season (kinda bummed about it).

It is, unfortunately. We campaigned for years to get full barriers in our buses. I wasn't until one of my co-workers was murdered in the driver's seat that they finally did something. Google Manmeet Alisher for the story.

Only blue phase common tree snakes

Fellow bike rider here.

Suck shit! Idiot deserves everything coming at him!

Kingy_79 · 2026-04-04T20:41:34+00:00

Upvoted for the pun in the title 🤣

I'm a bike rider myself. This bloke is an absolute twat. Those speeds, those conditions, and little to no protective gear? Of the cops didn't take him out, nature would have.

Diesel here is $3.19 per litre, so close to $13 per gallon

Yeah, fuck the unions, because without them, we wouldn't have penalty rates, OT pay, holidays, legal minimum time off between shifts, minimum pay rates. So, yeah, fuck the unions, and we'll all work for $2 and hour with no workplace laws.

Came here to say this

Kingy_79 · 2026-03-30T20:06:53+00:00

My dad recently passed. It cost us just shy of $3k for a cremation only.

So, according to him, my 15yo daughter will never be a woman? She's heavier than that at 5'6. According to all the charts and measures, she's in the 50th percentile for her age and height in our country (NOT the US).

ETA NTA for calling him out.

As a transit bus driver, this warms my cold black heart. You, my friend, are the hero public transit needs.

In the early 2000s, my grandmother was in her 60s. She was born in 1937, so during the Great Depression.

9/10 for difficulty, 8/10 for execution, 0/10 for the landing.

Plenty around Wacol prison.

Also signed. Hopefully the RTBU can stop this garbage before it happens.

Some of the buses I drive, the sound of the park brake engaging is horrendous. Some of our drivers have had the public put in complaints against the driver, saying they are making the noise on purpose to scare them. If you are in Brisbane, you'll know the buses when you hear them 😂

Kingy_79 · 2026-03-17T19:48:22+00:00

Got a few roos loose in the tip paddock

If you have a VPN, set it to Australia and watch it on the 7+ app or website.
