Northern Territory Police say a Central Australian man will face court after his 13-year-old son was caught driving a damaged vehicle with a loaded rifle in the front seat and towing a dead donkey.
Police pulled the vehicle over on Coniston Road, about 160 kilometres north-west of Alice Springs[*], about 1.30pm on Thursday.
They say the donkey carcass was being towed with a chain.
"Police found a 13-year-old boy driving the unroadworthy vehicle, with a loaded .22 bolt-action rifle in the front seat," he said.
"The rifle had nine rounds in the magazine and one round in the chamber.
"The vehicle was unroadworthy, with severe damage to the front end and the bonnet was held down with a tie-down strap."
Two other firearms, a 20-gauge shotgun and a high-powered .243 rifle, and 100 rounds of ammunition were found on the back seat of the dual cab utility.
Police took the boy back to a nearby station and spoke to his father.

What, he was sober? PUSSY!

He's probably been driving and shooting on the family station since he was nine. We call them stations, not farms or ranches. It's probably a couple of thousand square kilometres.
