It does n't get more Australian than that ! Cars have been brought to a hasty halt after a unique animal crossing of a hopping kind . A group of over 20 kangaroos have made a quick dash across the Craigieburn East Road in Victoria on Thursday morning . At 10.50 am on Thursday , many cars were brought to a hasty halt as over 20 kangaroos crossed the highway . The swarm executed perfect timing with the cars able to safely slow down and watch the group . The video shows the troop hopping across the busy road in single file and jumping over a barbed-wire fence to make it to the land on the other side . All caught on a driver 's Dash Cam , some of the animals are seen to be doing flips over the fence and disappearing into the long grass . Luckily all other cars slow to a halt on the 100km/hr road to wait for the group to safely cross , with all cautiously driving off after the encounter . With no clear 'kangaroo crossing ' signage the confrontation could have been potentially dangerous . Kangaroo crossings are more dangerous at night as the animals become blinded by vehicle head lights . Some of the kangaroos can be seen performing expert flips over the barbed wire fence and disappear into the grass . The crossing took place at 10.50 am on a Thursday and there were clearly not too many vehicles on the usually busy road . The Craigieburn East Road is 45 minutes north of Melbourne and the driver was on his way to work . In the day , our hopping friends are more likely to make a safer crossing by choosing their moments to dash more wisely . However in the evenings , when they are most active , they are easily collected as they become blinded by the headlights of cars .
