Wombat Crossing (Urban Legend)
So the following story changes from koala, ‘roo, cattle, birds and even camels. But in so many rural pubs I’ve visited I’ve heard this many of times and each time it is practically word for word… I’ve even heard a Candian bartender tell me her story of her brother in law back home in relation to moose.
“I live down the road (in some random direction usually between 50-150kilometers away in the scrub) and just recently had a new neighbour call the local council Parks & Wildlife office to ask to move the WOMBAT CROSSING sign on our road.
He reckons ‘Too many wombats are being hit by cars out here! I don’t think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.”
I’ll leave ya with a skit about animal crossings and all things funny from Carl Barron (legendary stand up comedian)…
John The Aussie 
Carl Barron FTW!!
Aye!!
OMGeeeee! I’m in ♥ with Carl Barron! He’s so funny! =0)
VW ♥
I met him on his “Straya” tour. Just a guy with a sense of humor. Upon stage though, a legend of comedy.
You lucky guy! I’m so envious… green even!

Ya know I said the same thing just yesterday to a bloke who met Weird Al….
That was to funny
glad i made ya day….
LOL was the neighbour blond 🙂
Usually its a male from the city or an immigrant from some big smoke.
Ha, ha, ha, hah! We have those types here as well. That Carl Barron is pretty funny. I’ve never heard of him before… going to have to check for him on Netflix or something.
Youtube has a lot of his standup and some of his newer DVD featured skits….
He’s hilarious!
He a legend.
Good day John. Nice to see a post from you, always look forward to them. The last time a heard a Canadian bartender talk to a moose, he asked him “Why the long face?”
To which the moose replied “HOLY SHIT A TALKING BARMAN!”
What the hell is that squiggly looking thing?
