Then, promptly disappear without trace, seemingly. Never to be seen again, more often than not. Must be something to some of those gory legends, after all...!!

Re: The land of milk and honey - boomerangs and kangas!
I've got fond memories of you Aussie jokers. Back in 1961 I worked in Queensland for 3 months harvesting broom millet but before that someone told us that there was an outfit that bought kangaroo meat at 1/6d a pound. We just had to meet up with the refrigerated truck at a designated time. We had 3 kangas and waited and waited and waited in amongst some trees. After 3 days of 40°C we left the whole stinking mess behind the trees and drove off!
