I want to know about the rabbit fence. And when you're done telling me about that, I want to know about the emu fence.

Hi xenia,

I don't know a lot about the rabbit proof fence, but there is a movie called 'Rabbit Proof Fence', and I've got a link here for you to check it out. Scroll down the bottom of the page and you'll see a map of the fence on the left hand side. I haven't seen the movie myself, stories like these distress me too much. I hate what we've done to the aborigine. I guess in the last few years the truth of what we've done has really surfaced and the things that have happened to them is just indescibable. Much the same as the American Indian I don't doubt. Isn't it terrible what the world does to these peoples.

Hehe! I haven't heard of an emu fence either..

The only Emu Fence I know of is down at my friends place. She keeps Barry behind it.

For our walk around Aussie, you'll all need one of these ... they keep the flies away from your face...

It's the Aussie Cork Hat. Very fashionable ... we'll all feel desirable.
Then you need your Blundstone boots .... you'll feel more desirable in those...



OH ... and your shorts ... it gets pretty hot ....

 

[Bevlina]

And ... if you like golf ... we can have a game on one of the outback greens ....

And ... here's a pic of a part of the massively long rabbit proof fence ....

Ok Tav, translate. I know what a kangaroo is and I know what a boomerang is, but what is a wag? you called us a wag didn't you? Calling names is not nice you know! You ole pantaloon!

Only way I can express 'bunch of wags' Prom, is to say 'you're a bunch of funny people'.

Now!.... what's an 'ole pantaloon' ? (aren't pantaloons pants that came down to the knees, that were worn under long dresses in the old days?)

Are you calling me a pair of undies Prom??

The only Emu Fence I know of is down at my friends place. She keeps Barry behind it.

Is Barry her pet emu, or her husband, Bev?

 

[Bevlina]

Her pet emu Tav's ... I'll upload a pic of him.... behind the fence.

I saw on the news that prairie dogs make good pets. I would love one. I'd put a collar on it and walk it around the block. I was going to do that with the emu. I was thinking you could ship me an emu and I'd ship you a prairie dog.

hehehe! I can just see Migs walking an emu around the block!
I wouldn't mind a prairie dog!

 

[Bevlina]

There's Barry feeding his face with lettuce begind his emu fence. He's quite a bird really.

 

[Tavita]

He's a good looking emu Bev. Looks like he's well looked after.

 

[Bevlina]

She looks after all her animals well Tav's. He's a funny emu, he strayed there as a baby and never left the place!

Hey Tav!
Pantaloons are a type of ladies long underwear.
Guess what, as I was trying to find out what a wag is, I found out in the thesarus that another word for wag, or a witty person, is pantaloon.
Or as we say here, "It takes one to know one".

 

[miggles]

Pantaloons? We have loons over here.

 

[MotherOfPromise]

What are you saying, Migs?
