Don't Mess With Our Fauna
Hi Gals & Guys
Just to support Keefy about not messing with our fauna, here are a couple of other examples sent to me by a mate. I believe these were taken on the current construction of the Aldelaide to Darwin rail extension. These animals were nurtured on Vegemite. Bob |

fauna
It's alright Dave, the secret to vegemite is you must carry a jar with you at all times to sooth your nerves as well as calm the fauna. Just remember to keep the vegemite with you at all times and you'll be fine. If any of you are coming to Australia be free to look us up and we'll protect you from the fauna just ask Keefy. We protected our friends from Canada when a snake came on the scene whilst we were unloading a Blitz load of grain ( he just went further up the ladder on the silo, we forgot to tell him snakes don't climb ladders real well) it took a while before he came back down and was visibly shaken by the whole affair, his main problem is he's not a vegemite eater but a maple syrup man. The snake was dealt with by a vegemite eater. Our fauna might bite , kick and scratch ,but at least they don't smell like some fauna in Canada do.

Pig on spit
Hey Robert, you bring the pig to Corowa & I will build a big spit to cook it on. We may need to feed a couple of international guests.

Unfairly taking credit ...
... for that pipeful of snakes ? Those look more like North American rattlesnakes to me ?
Australia doesn't need to do it on volume, they can do it with quality. IIRC "OZ" is home to 6 of the 10 deadliest snakes on the planet. And then, there are the football teams ... Marmite ? Oh, the horror, the horror ...

I don't think that was the fauna you were smelling when it came to Canadians...snakes and getting up close and personel with'em....Just ask Jif... I'm sure he'll be bringing a suitcase full of clean knickers with 'em when he comes...to deal with the snake problem..

Unfortunate end to Jackie (told to me by my stepdad) he had been sleeping under a tractor and my stepdad ran over him with the tractor, killing him of course. Jackie cut loose then, the one and only known time he sprayed. Kartmann Loves Skunks |

We used to have some enormous ones at Zephyr, and the buggers got into our garbage regularly. Then Julia ran over one in the driveway and they disappeared, but not before my retriever got sprayed in the face chasing one... oi, nasty business, that!

They DO grow huge. I was told Jackie was humongous when full grown. I hadn't seen him in a long time and didn't see him when he was killed. We'd moved to Beausejour then.
BC seems to grow REALLY BIG skunks ... give them lots of room when you spot them and their little babies walking across your lawn. I've always heard that KETCHUP was good to slather on animals sprayed by a skunk, to try and get rid of the smell. I don't know if this actually works. |

Dorothy is going home!
Hey folks, that skunk that hitched a ride has found a hitch-ride home to USA again ... after having been named DOROTHY while here (from the Land of Oz ) ... I can just see a new best selling children's book on the market soon about "The Adventures of Dorothy Skunk - Smuggled into Canada - Illegal Alien Skunk Gets Deported"
