During a voyage down the Nile, upon encountering a possible navigable problem, Moses yelled to the helmsman " Hard to port",

Hold a minute I am just doing up my zip so that I too can beat a hasty retreat just like Pharoah, but rather then running away from a woman in trouble who should have had the sense to keep her knickers on, I am running from a wet patch of daisies in the garden of an old dear who...just like Vets.....has a rather large frypan and is intent on .

And as I pass the barn at a great rate of knots I spy from the corner of my eye not a but a beautiful rust red............

cheers

Default Rust red...

...rock. I stared at it, somewhat gobsmacked, for here it was, smack in the middle of Queensland, Ayres Rock.

The sun was setting, and it was going through it's fantastic range of colours. But how could it have got here, and what of the poor sods who were in it's way when it dropped in? How could I have missed the sound of it's fall?

I rubbed my eyes, swearing off vegemite for a time, as it's effects as a hallucigen are well known.

Meanwhile, in Perth a vast military convoy sets out... it's objective Ayres Rock. Little do they know all they'll find is a giant hole in the ground.

After many nights in the wilderness, the convoy arrives at the GPS co-ordinates of the rock to find a red-raw hole in the ground, much like a freshly pulled tooth. Accusing fingers are immediately pointed at the South Australians (known for their absconding with heritage items), but they reply...........

...Suddenly, a bright flash of lightning and loud roll of thunder announced the commencement of a torrential downpour. The ground was rapidly becoming too soft to support the convoy which was by now assembled on the crater's floor. "What the f&@* are we going to do now" thought the expedition's C.O. as Jeeps and Bedfords flailed about in the axle deep mud... fortunately the CMPs, with their superior Canadian design were not affected...

....as they were going to go to their rightful owners the Queenslanders so the 'Big Boss' above (who was a Queenslander ) had arranged some rain to make this happen and also to make some daisies grow so that all the men could be caught watering them to give Ma Yappy some right arm exercise with a heavy weight, here on known as a frying pan, when ever she caught them at it and could run fast enough to......

"You can yap, but you can't run!" roared the group leader as Yappy, going as fast as her little legs could carry her chased the mud-bedraggled convoy. The CMPs were in the lead, towing the less capable trucks and cars they had extricated from the mire in the nick of time. "Thank goodness Sid Swallow knew how to design 'em" he reflected as he adjusted his slouch hat and munched on a chocolate biscuit later that evening.
Their supplies of Tim Tams were safe for the time being, or were they...

The Tim tams were not safe,because the little frying pan yapster HAD to satify her sweet tooth,AND she knew who was hoarding her favorite delicacy(besides vegemite that is).The last we saw of her she was weilding her favorite cooking implement while yelling at GWB to help get her out of that slimy Ayer's Rock mud aftermath with those CMP's in the distance roaring away from her as she....

...went into politics and became the Canadian Prime Minister. "Just my luck" Yappy thought ruefully as she felt the cold steel of the frying pan handle in her hand. Her eyes narrowed as she strained to make out the man at the head of the convoy. She'd seen him only briefly, but she could still feel the thrill of that meeting coursing through her tiny frame. Her reverie was rudely interrupted by the roar of a P51D Mustang passing just feet above her head...
