Dance with Destiny

Local News: Merewether Baths.

DANCE WITH DESTINY!

It poured with rain, as I remember;

Bleak was the winter's day....

When a young boy learned of his destiny,

Learned he was on his way.

He was leaving the confines of Newcastle

For the great wide world beyond;

Leaving, to dance in Europe,

The large sea, not the little pond.

And he leaped with joy at the notion,

And the newsman caught his joy,

As a pale sun emerged for a second

To shine on a golden boy.

ORACLE OZ-STYLE

If ever you're asked about Oz
You wont be stuck because
You'll have read this Ozzicle Oracle
And be the wisest that ever there was.
*
There are more one-humped camels in Oz
Than anywhere else on earth.
They were brought in from places abroad
And they've spent all their time giving birth!
*
For every Australian alive
There are eight sheep or possibly more.
But I've never met anyone yet
Who's bothered to check on the score.
*
You can write from the Barrier Reef
And stick on its own special stamp,
Although the recipient may
Find the letter a little bit damp.
*
The Tasmanian Devil has jaws
With the strength of a huge crocodile.
So if it looks eager to bite
Try and better the four-minute-mile!
*
But, if you are after clean air,
The cleanest on earth's in Tasmania.
So people who choose to live there
Must be wiser than you and much brainier.
