Eh? They're pretty much rooted nyway if they wash up on the shore?
Unless you were going to refloat them?

Reminds me of the time i tried riding over some dead porpoise looking thing on Stockton on a Trike. Ended up getting stuck on top of it and when i went to get off the Trike to drag it off, my foot went through it. Combined all the chunks that got stuck around the engine when the whole thing collapsed during recovery, it all become a very awful mess and smell.
So yes i agree, don't drive over dead things on the beach.

there was that many jelly fish on the beach at Fraser it wasnt funny and if it comes dowen to running over a dead jellyfish, into an oncoming car or hitting a creek washout i will take the jellyfish anyday..

I got back from Fraser last night as well - couldnt really avoid them there was that many of them. Somehow, I doubt the rangers would care either........

A few years ago I was with a mate in his hilux when we pased a dead cow on the beach, it was all bloated and stuff, my mate thought it would be funny to run over the carcass. Well after it kinda exploded and cover his car in shite he changed his mind.
The car stank for days afterwards.

Stick to running over cane toads, at least that is morally correct! (Just keep the dog away from your mud-flaps afterwoods).

He didn't consult me before he did it. I've spent enough times on farms to know you don't go anywhere near anything that's all bloated and sh1t.
Looking back he was a carton short of a 6pack
All up though I'd rather him as a mate than many other people I've known.
And this wasnt the most stupid thing I saw him do either.

Collect all the Jelly Fish and have some Jelly Wrestling
Dead cows

Accidentally jumped on one up in one of our back paddock once (It was half covered in leaves and bracken).....shoulda seen the shiat and maggots ooze out of all its orifices

I reckon as long as he didn't try and shag it, he can't be that bad......

How long ago was this???
I towed one cos a mate wanted a souvenire.
but it kept snapping the rope...
it had a pine cone looking thing stuck in its mouth, about 2 yrs ago.
note: if anyone is a greeny and going to kill me its all lies.

Yeah mate ignore these wood ducks. Jelly fish do that all the time. They swim up on the beach at high tide, sun bake for a bit and the athletic ones play a game or two of beach cricket before they all walk back to the water at low tide and go about their ways in the ocean again.

It was a around 15 years ago when i was a teenager. The horrific smell and being nearly knee deep in dead stuff has been etched into my memory

Just got back from DoubleIsland point and there are blue bottles everywhere. If your going fishing take your waders
That is if you can stand the forecasted light to moderate winds and showers
LYING FUKS
It was cyclone Tracys sister visiting us on the beach front. Bloody wind hurt it was that hard if you want something sand blasted i suggest taking it there. And then there was the rain

we left two days early cause we were just sick of it
If anyone knows the details of where any weather forecasters live please post now; i need i boxing bag
Rant over

yeah the photo of my mate with his fishing rod in one hand beer in the other and his foot on the dead dolphin is fairly humourous!
the image of him trying to take a bit of flipper home as a souvenire was not as good.- ok it was FUNNNNNY!
