...After Chuckin a sickie, I decided to head out to a Billabong in the Outback for the day. I told me mate to ‘Ring me’, but Im thinkin he’s buggered after last night hangin out with those ‘Crazy Canadians at Ninderry’, he’s more n’ likely rotten. I grabbed my Eskie, along with some damper, flake, a sangor, bikkies and a cuppla tinnies.
A brief stop off at the Servo and me Ute was ready to go. I picked me self up some lollies for the drive beyond the black stump. Emma Chisset? Me asks the clerk. That’ll be three Quid says he. ‘Crickey' that’s Bloody Exy mate, I says I took a quick look at my Bluey, ....Ahh shoot, ...smacking me self of the forehead, 'I spit the dummy'..... what a Dill, I forgot me togs and me swag and Billy!...what a ‘galah’ I thinks to me self,. No point in Whingen about it now,.....
...the Arvo was lookin good, if all goes well I’ll try n grab some Yabbies while I’m out... Although it’s ‘A long way from the Snowies’ I decides to go on a walk-a-bout to find a good spot for the Cache..the mozzies were as bad as the 'Mozzies at Myalup' and I find me self doin the good ol Aussie Salute more than times than I can count.. Rounding a corna a 'Cormorant' suddenly breaks through the water of the Billabong right in bloody fronta me.. a big watersnake in it’s beak. I thought for a moment I was gonna Cark it me ticka was poundin so fast! Think I better get me out a Heart-Starter I says to meself as I dig a tinnie out me Bluey. A bit o scoutin about and I saw it,.... the perfect spot, I was Gobsmacked..... That’s a real Corker! I thought., it’ll do just fine.
G’day mate! I hears from outta nowhere...Looking up me sees this old Kungarakany comin down the path twards me. Said he’d just had a Bingle down the road a ways in the Billabong and wanted to know if I had a bush telly All he had on were budgie smugglers and a singlet. A gust of wind came up all of a sudden, 'hang on to your Akubra'. I says to im...I could see he was soaked through, poor dero, he was in dire need of some daks.
Sittin 'down by the Billabong', I threw me trap in and had some Yabbies in no time. Goodonya ...not bad for a Banana Bender he says t’ me. We shared a bite and although he kind of took to ear-bashing, it was better than eating with the flies. He was a real drongo if I ever saw one, said he was headin for his Humpie... I gave him me Damper and Matilda, hopeing he’d be off leavin me to get down to business. Ahh, thanks heaps mate, ‘Hoo-roo’ he says, as he gets himself together then headed off muttering something in Laragiya I placed the Cache with great satisfaction. Now that’s a fair dinkum geo-spot if I ever saw one I says to me self...
