As An Awesome American Associate of Ours Absconds to Australia ...

As our brave super hero, blogging buddy and all round general good guy, Gordo, absconds to Australia for a while, we're linking to this post of his.

When your read it you'll see why we say he's brave.

Though in all honesty we do have to wonder if our dear old missus may have been closer to the mark, when she muttered:" Brave? FFFFFlying with Qantas? Bloomin' brave? Flippin' 'eck, Brit! I'd say, more like bloody bonkers!"

Just jesting Gordo. Have a terrific time.

But don't forget what old (78 and sill going strong), Rolf Harris from Oz sang ...

There's an old Australian stockman lying, dying.
He gets himself uponto one elbow and 'e turns to his
mates, who are all gathered around and 'e says:

Watch me wallabies feed, mate
Watch me wallabies feed,
They're a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me wallabies feed

Altogether now!

CHORUS:

Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down
Tie me kangaroo down, sport
Tie me kangaroo down

Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl,
Keep me cockatoo cool
Ah, don't go acting the fool, Curl
Just keep me cockatoo cool

Altogether now!

(CHORUS)

'n' take me koala back, Jack
Take me koala back
He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac
So take me koala back

Altogether now!

(CHORUS)

Let me abos go loose, Lew
Let me abos go loose
They're of no further use, Lew
So let me abos go loose

Altogether now!

(CHORUS)

And mind me platypus duck, Bill
Mind me platypus duck
Ah, don't let 'im go running amok, Bill
Just mind me platypus duck

Altogether now!

(CHORUS)

Play your didgeridoo, Blue
Play your didgeridoo
Ah, like, keep playin' 'til I shoot thru, Blue
Play your didgeridoo

Altogether now!

(CHORUS)

Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde

And that's it hangin' on the shed!!

Altogether
now!

(CHORUS)
