Only 2 things to blame
Urban growth and development
And the depi/greens don't allow enough culling to control them.
I have thousands on my property which has now become unfarmable as of last year.

I'm actually a farmer and that is obviously what's happened,I think most of the wildlife here has moved over from nsw as things have dried off, in reality some organized approach needs to be taken control wise, but nothing will happen here until they hit the South Australian southern ag areas, ie.Clare and south, then it will be declared a national emergency....
But that's just my theory.
Meanwhile every local farmer applies for higher and higher limit permits, and then spend half the night every night out shooting, and trust me it's starting to get taxing, both financially and mentally

Black spur whilst towing a boat , wallaby hiding behind road sign, couldn't top for some time to check if rangie had damage. you never know when you are going to come across one.
Of course just when I was glancing down at the dials, about to set cruise control for 80 zone....

I was talking to a truckie in Broken Hill several years ago in the last big drought who told me he usually hit up to 200roos between Peterborough and Broken Hill at night. There were blood spatters about every 50 metres on the road so supports his story.
He told me a Hyundai asked if he could slot in behind him on the way to Cobah and he said Ok. The Hyundai arrived in Cobah covered in gore but undamaged.
Funny thing is that the bloody goats seem to be seldom hit. Smart buggers.
Again several years ago in the last Qld Drought, there were carcasses about every 100 metres on the Cloncurry /Longreach road.
The black Kites had a field day and I counted at least 40 wheeling over Longreach.

I'd agree with all of that. I often drove Brisbane to Adelaide. I'd go fro Moree or Narribri across to Bourke, and then on to Broken Hill. There is simply no way to avoid them in a 26 metre truck. Pigs are smarter, but I got a few. Never got a goat, they are smart, not like sheep. Sheep are why farmers need fences. Oh, and cows. Damn near rolled my double hitting a cow. Stupid, AND big. Oh, and don't forget camels if you go a little further west.
Worst thing about roadkill is the eagles. They are not frightened, and won't move from their feast. They get hit all the time.

Yes, pretty much the case. But they've also moved in from further west where it is even drier. A lot of waterholes drying up, so they are moving into places where there is still stock water.

Plus the sunlight heats the bitumen up, and it forms condensation under it. That is why there will almost always be a green pick right at the edge of the road.
