So Hayden and I just had the exciting privilege of dialling 000. For those of you know don’t know, 000 (three zeros) is our emergency contact number here in Australia.
Just near to where I live, I was exiting off the highway at Forest Glen, and we saw the top of a car down a big ditch off the exit ramp. I cringed as I imagined what this might have been like when it happened when I saw a man who was all shaky come up from the ditch. I was suprised, and we stopped the car a little way past the BP petrol station that he was next too.
I asked Hayden to call 000, but he didn’t want to, so I did. The lady was really nice, and I gave her as many details as I could. She said that she would send someone out.
So I hung up and tried to start the car, but it wouldn’t start!! I had left my headlights on for the short, 5 minute, conversation that I had had with the police officer, and my battery was flat!! Lucky I had Hayden with me, and he got out and pushed. I managed to clutch start it and we went home.
When we were at home, and told everyone about it, we heard sirens; sirens that were going to what I had just called up about (it’s really close to where we live- you can easily hear sirens from the highway)!!
