Dear James

 

Fred, Barry and Bluey were out for a bike ride out the back near Greenbank
Hill and it was thirsty going, with the days pushing into the mid-40s, or
over 110 in the old money. At smoko time, they pulled up for a slice of
damper and a pull from the waterbag - of course, no one smokes these days,
like we all used to. As they drank, Blinky Bill hung down from a nearby gum
tree and surprised the thirsty lads by calling out, "Gday boys, I'm a bit
parched, how's your waterbag holding out?"

 

Once our mates had recovered from the shock of seeing a talking koala
outside a story book, our friendly cyclists, being a bit more mobile than
old Blinky and thinking they could easily make it back to the waterhole
before dark, said "No worries mate, come on down and join us!". Blinky
grunted with thanks, swung slowly down and lumbered across to where the
fellas were standing with their mouths gaping, catching lots of flies on a
day like that. He burped loudly when he was done, and the lads choked a bit
on the cloud of Eucalyptus vapour that enveloped them. Blinky held out his
paw and shook the boys' hands firmly saying, "Thanks, fellas, the bush
creatures will remember this. I thought I was properly done for, but now
I'll be able to hold out for a few weeks more."

 

Once our heroes got back, no one believed them, because of course, koalas
never drink, as we all know, getting all their water requirements by licking
dew off gum leaves.

 

Regards

 

Pete :-)

With all the heat down south at the moment apparently it's wise to take a
bit of extra water:
