A book I found at the op-shop (where else):
It's just plain weird, but I find it strangely compelling. It's set on Magnetic Island which I have good memories of. Went there on school camp in year 8 - 1977. The best food of my entire boarding school life. We collected coconuts and husked them on star pickets. The island was undeveloped then, as far as tourism goes. I don't know what it's like now.
I went to boarding school in Charters Towers which is 100km or so inland from Townsville. I went to Townsville every six weeks for a couple of years to get my braces adjusted.
Anyway, back to the book.
How do you like this fellow's hairstyle? He's one of the ambulance officers. The shirt, shorts, shoes and socks are just like what my dad wore to work.
The kids go to the clinic to see the doctor, read comics and the nurse gets a needle prick injury. Her name, according to her badge, is Iva Pain. I do like that pic. of the kids on the plastic chairs reading comics. Oh, and one with eucalypt leaves. In case the koala gets hungry.
Mrs Spigot is a dill.
Yes, when your koala just goes back to bad habits it's a good idea to wipe your hands of koala business and go play in the creek. A good creek too, by the looks of it.
