Roo rues visit to town

THERE was mayhem on the roads last week as a rogue kangaroo darted its way through oncoming traffic in Pakenham.
Farmer Ron from Pakenham was driving along the Princes Highway when a young kangaroo jumped out from the nature street near John Street and onto the road.
“We had to swerve quite violently to avoid him. I thought he was going to crash into my side door,” he said.
“It looked terrified and caused mayhem in the traffic at about five minutes to five on Wednesday.”
Ron, who saw the kangaroo bounce toward Ahern Road, has asked everyone to keep an eye out for the “young fella”.
