Emus stopping traffic in Longreach, November 15, 2013

A utility attempts to pull onto the Landsborough Highway in Longreach, but is stopped by a mob of emus. Luke Nunn has lived in Longreach his entire life and says this is the first time he has seen emus in town. "The last couple of months they've sort of come in fairly thick, you sort of see them and try to avoid them when you're driving," he said. "There's a fair number, normally you see them on the edge of town but not inside, they're obviously chasing water and grass."
