The nicest thing someone's ever done for meIn amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.
In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.
Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

have you ever hit a wedge-tailed eagle?apparently, they fill up each night on maggoty roadkill and are then too heavy to take off quickly. in the morning, when cars start coming down the roads again, the eagles smash into the windscreens, covering the drivers in glass, bird guts, roadkill and maggots :(

ShameI saw a lot of dead eagles by the side of the road / middle cos of just this. They put up signs saying please pick up your roadkill and put it at the side of the road so you don't kill the eagles.
Sad but true...
I saw wild camels but didn't hit one thank god. I also invested in a $10 thing you stick to your bumper that creates a ultra high frequency whistle as you drive and scares the animals. It saved me from killing a few emus, wallabies and other wildlife on my roaminground a few dirt tracks in national parks.

i betthere aren't that many people willing to stop the car and drag a freshly-squished roo off the road.
i wouldn't like to run into a cassowary, i've heard they're vicious buggers!
