Cement, bitumen, guard rails, trees and the oncoming tonnes of vehicular metal flying down the opposite direction. All natural enemies of the living breathing occupants of cars along the Easter long weekend. Victoria back in form as they reclaim the pole-wrapping position of carnage and twisting chassis.

Cement stolen from Helm’s Excavations up there on Oyster Crescent in Kettering, Tasmania, was used to dispose of the body. It was 1976, a few years after the release of Godfather II, and gangster-fever was in the air. Dead fish wrapped in butcher paper were not uncommon.

Life takes a toll on death, dying as the screams from inside the crumpling metal chassis wreck in careening pile-ups on the nation's highways and streets. Trumping the year before, this season's merry wave of 70 corpses bests that of the last by the sixteen wheels of a semi-trailer.

Blinded by obsolescence, stuck between yesterday and not quite ready for today. There in the twilight that exists in the headaches of many and in the dreams of the comatose. A treasure lies in the Fresh Kills Landfill.

Fry away the broken eggs and scrambled legs; New South Wales returns to Easter corpse making form. Upending the body count of 2008, the state showing up last year trying to unlock its doors with a wooden spoon is back again on the top of the heap.

Off the coast and back again; a telling tale of whales and premature farewells. No sooner than finding the cool waters again off Hamelin Bay, thanks to the large effort of volunteers helping them back, a gam of whales find their bellies sandy once more only a day later. This time on the grains roughing the coast off Flinders Bay. Choppers above not a strong enough ushering force with the pod hitting the reverb for the repeat beaching.

Sizzle, crack, pop and taste twisted omelettes with the sunny-side up. Outperforming the previous holiday road toll season, 2008-2009 wrapped more in black to return to days above the half ton. Racking in 54 corpses between the period of December 19 and January 2, it returns from a frightful fill of last year.

Falling under the sound of twisting metal and busting glass, a quiet toll on the roads over the Anzac period. Hush the tones scrawling tyres with a less than stellar sideline of followers, chalkers and tally enthusiasts.

Lick the red box and keep a fresh and up-to-date eyeball on our latest reviews, articles and filthy somesuch. Or kiss it.

Armpit hair needs a lair?
