Bronco Bustin’, Aussie Style
For Australia, I imagine this is just a garden variety dog-bites-man story – so to speak – the kind of thing Skeeter or Robert Blair (or even Tim Blair) might do perfectly sober, just for a lark. But I found it pretty…extraordinary.

ReplyDeleteIs that all.
For a moment there I thought some pervert had imitated South Carolina's immortal horse-buggerer Rodell Vereen.

Broome, the wild wild Northwest. The last frontier. Looks like a fun place.

No, haven't tried that one Paco ... not yet anyway ... I did try kissing a Bull once ... just the once ...
ReplyDeleteUmmm, Ive fallen asleep on the crocodile farm fence at broome, after trying to wobble home from the same pub... Was woken by a blue heeler dog licking my face through the fence the next morning.
ReplyDeleteAnother 12 or so meters and it might have been one of fatsos mates doing the licking.
Not a great moment in my life....
Couldn't be the Timothy I recall, 'cause It ain't got one of these on it, bloke
ReplyDeleteI see a "Chopper" episode in the making...
ReplyDeleteI've spent time in Broome, and, if they let you in, you gotta be pretty stupid to get kicked out of any of the several pubs there.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Abbos kick you out from under the shade of the tree in the park, then you know you've really got a problem.
But, there is a tourist area and folks get silly on vacation.
Note to "anti-racists" a-reading this: The Abbos, as they are known,in the out-back, sit around under trees all day drinking. They used to do this, without the alcohol, before ol' whitey arrived.
It weren't called "dream time" for nu'in.
