Australian wild animals in a wartime tale
In a humorous wartime piece from The Digger, Bill recounts Australian wildlife with exaggerated chatter. He names creatures like the kangaroo rooster, wombat, native bear, wif-wolf, dingo and wallaby, mixing facts with tall tales and playful danger about bee farms and soldiers. The Billet Lady and the Fair Daughter react with shock as the storyteller hints at marriage implications.
