Dads stories

Australian Outback

12th March 2000.
Here you have something other than Jenny. This is Peter's house also showing
the land and waterhole (called dam here). This morning Peter was crossing
this bridge with his new dog whilst out for a walk. In the bridge was a
hole, and the doggie (called Dusty) promptly fell into it. But Peter was
able to save him! Besides that he has already had wasp nests and a bat, who
forgot the way out of his house. He watched it during the night with his
torch, for he is scared of everything that creeps and crawls. And the bat
promptly flew into the lamp. Then there are Kangaroos, who have free access
to his lawn. They only need to hop and over the fence they go. It is hardly
any effort for them.
He has neither telephone nor electricity. The water is in a tank on top of
the house. How the water gets into the tank has not yet been explained to
me, because the roof is too low. He regularly comes to Melbourne twice a
week and works from here. His team is actually based in Melbourne. I can't
quite figure it all out. But then I am terribly old. He has hotel
accommodation whilst in Melbourne but spends one night at our place.
Well...that's what Australia looks like. At least most of it!
All the best. Peter.
