While his daughter slept and his wife listened to music Dad worked at his laptop. Surfing the web is the best way to past time while you are at the airport. The airport should be giving out free Wi-Fi. And he found the poster advertising this service. So he went on with clearing the question of the peculiarities of Australia. He met an article about unique traffic signs in Australia. Then he told us that Australia and probably Papua New Guinea were the only country in the world with road signs imaged animals like kangaroo and koala bear. But even little children know that Australia is the native area of these animals. The Australians don't need posters with these exotic animals. The question arises: why Australians need these signs? These road signs are destined to alert the drivers just in case these animals suddenly jump out to cross the road. Kangaroos come out to look for aliment at dawn and right before sunset. And my husband was going to rend a car to drive there. So he should watch out for kangaroo driving at these hours! The author of that article pointed that car accidents of hitting kangaroo were very common in Australia. The adult kangaroos can grow as tall as 1 m to 2.5m tall, and weigh 20 to 100kg. The animal can get killed or injured by the car accident. The car can suffer serious damage. Then the question of paying hefty surcharge for the car repair should appear. So Dad should reduce speeds. High alertness should be definitely wiser things to do while driving in such kangaroo and wildlife hot-spots. I think the cautionary posters should be also relevant in this case. My husband wanted to ask some questions to his Australian friend on-line. But my honey found that this impossible. One thing we would all go to was probably Face-book. It is a popular site! Then we started watching videos, You Tube clips or just playing an interesting game as it was installed onto our computer. Two hours ran fast away. That was our daughter who first saw the poster on the enunciator with information about our flight. She is not a insightful person. But our kid is very observant. She knew a lot of useful and interesting things and got a number of answers on her adequate and fore-handed questions during our traveling. |
