Years back, the main highway into Adelaide from the East snaked down through some hills where the trucks could burn out their brakes, then swung around a 180 degree hairpin turn officially named "The Devil's Elbow". The stuff that spilled there included a truckload of live cattle, a load of nails and scrap metal, and once, about 8,000 live chickens. No crocs, that I remember hearing about, though.
And let's not forget the incident of 30,000 lbs of bananas.
