Quite a fog rolled in overnight as well. Another motel guest came in late yesterday and had a bit of a chat with him this morning; it seems he hit a kangaroo on the way into Broken Hill last evening. We checked the car over, and it looks like most of the damage would be easily fixed, even to the extent that the car looked like it would be drivable for him to get home, though a closer look at the transmission cooler showed a small fracture, so maybe not. I left him to ponder the situation. Saturday in Broken Hill, there is definitely no way he is seeing a mechanic today, or tomorrow either, unfortunately. Foggy morning and roo...
