I spend a couple of months in WA at the beginning of 2025.
Me and a friend went on a road trip down south in my aunties family car. We were pitched up in the shade of trees in a quiet corner of a campsite, eating our traditional lunchtime cheese sandwich when a gust of wind came. Bits of the Kari tree we were under started falling down, some sizeable branches so, naturally we ran out of the way. Once the wind died off, I went round our pitch to make sure everything was okay - it was not all okay. A branch has gone straight through the centre of the rear windscreen, smashing the whole pain of glass with one big hole in the middle. After many phone calls to insurance companies, windscreen repair places and a very apologetic call to my Auntie, we were told to keep going. So, we taped bin bags to either side of the glass, wrapped it in glad wrap (which in British terms in clean film) and keep the road trip going. I think it's a running joke that everything in Australia is out to kill you: the spiders, snakes, crocodiles, etc but I didn't realise that extended to the trees.
