my kids insisted that I read that poem to them when they were little to the point taht I knew it by heart.....

[excess.11]

I recall reciting that poem in Primary school........loved it then...........love it now.
Tanks 4 da mammaries .
Bush poetry and yarnspinning is big in the outback and rural towns these days.
Took my daughter to a bush poets breakfast in Mildura ....what a feast.....both gastronomically and entertainment.

I digress......back to the rally thread.....yadda yadda....yakkity yak. Motorbike ....oil....etc.

Banjo Patterson - Aussi hero poet -
Mulga Bill's Bicycle

'Twas Mulga Bill, from Eaglehawk, that caught the cycling craze;
He turned away the good old horse that served him many days;
He dressed himself in cycling clothes, resplendent to be seen;
He hurried off to town and bought a shining new machine;
And as he wheeled it through the door, with air of lordly pride,
The grinning shop assistant said, "Excuse me, can you ride?"


"See here, young man," said Mulga Bill, "from Walgett to the sea,
From Conroy's Gap to Castlereagh, there's none can ride like me.
I'm good all round at everything as everybody knows,
Although I'm not the one to talk - I hate a man that blows.
But riding is my special gift, my chiefest, sole delight;
Just ask a wild duck can it swim, a wildcat can it fight.
There's nothing clothed in hair or hide, or built of flesh or steel,
There's nothing walks or jumps, or runs, on axle, hoof, or wheel,
But what I'll sit, while hide will hold and girths and straps are tight:
I'll ride this here two-wheeled concern right straight away at sight."


'Twas Mulga Bill, from Eaglehawk, that sought his own abode,
That perched above Dead Man's Creek, beside the mountain road.
He turned the cycle down the hill and mounted for the fray,
But 'ere he'd gone a dozen yards it bolted clean away.
It left the track, and through the trees, just like a silver steak,
It whistled down the awful slope towards the Dead Man's Creek.


It shaved a stump by half an inch, it dodged a big white-box:
The very wallaroos in fright went scrambling up the rocks,
The wombats hiding in their caves dug deeper underground,
As Mulga Bill, as white as chalk, sat tight to every bound.
It struck a stone and gave a spring that cleared a fallen tree,
It raced beside a precipice as close as close could be;
And then as Mulga Bill let out one last despairing shriek
It made a leap of twenty feet into the Dean Man's Creek.


'Twas Mulga Bill, from Eaglehawk, that slowly swam ashore:
He said, "I've had some narrer shaves and lively rides before;
I've rode a wild bull round a yard to win a five-pound bet,
But this was the most awful ride that I've encountered yet.
I'll give that two-wheeled outlaw best; it's shaken all my nerve
To feel it whistle through the air and plunge and buck and swerve.
It's safe at rest in Dead Man's Creek, we'll leave it lying still;
A horse's back is good enough henceforth for Mulga Bill."

Eagle hawk sounds good.

[BrettS]

Ok, will do. That's the Big Merino Macas I'm guessing.
Might get a new phone before I go, the old Iphone 4s is about dusted. I'll give you a number when I know.

Hey Brett, Scarfey accommodation for Thursday night is booked.

Cheers

[BrettS]

Hey Lou, had a chat with the boss today and extended the days off to include Thursday so it's all too easy I can leave here to meet up at any time that suits you two.
I appreciate the offer to meet at Goulburn, looking at the map travel between Goulburn and Gunning is about 1/2 hour and it's about the same to Crookwell so we won't get together any sooner, just travel more. Have to chat some more.
I'm 2hrs 15m from crookhaven and you guys are about 1 1/2 hrs to the same.
Really looking forward to the ride now, thanks.
Brett

[beemeerr11]

Gunning was the plan, but hey we could meet you in Goulburn.

Last year we went through Cowra to Bathurst, the year before Taralga so this year thought we'd go through Crookwell, Trunkey Creek.

Cheers
Lou

[BrettS]

I was planning on working till 2pm on Thursday but you got me thinking. Are you going through Goulburn or Yass?
Oh you guys are probably heading straight up through Gunning. I would probably meet you in Crookwell.

[beemeerr11]

Hey Brett,

If you can get to Queanbeyan by say midday Thursday you can join Scarfey and me, we are going via Crookwell this time and then joining up with Mr and Mrs Jones for dinner in Bathurst (I'll book a decent room for the 3 of us) and meeting that other mob from the big smoke on Friday morning?

Cheers

Lou
