Visit Australia, travel and experience adventure Australia
I am pleased that you visited Adventure Australia. Please drop-in again and we can enjoy the experience of Australia. As well as the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast in Queensland, there are many more things of interest. The apple-isle of Tasmania awaits your visit. Taste wine made in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. See the Perth Mint and Swan River in Western Australia. This is an exciting country to tour, whether formally via organized trips, by backpack, or by staying at the best hotels.
Visit Australia and learn about the people, country, flora and fauna. If you have a return ticket you can stay in Australia for six months. This will give you time to visit Australia Zoo and take a 4WD tour of the outback to see red kangaroo and dingoes, or enjoy our beach lifestyle which is part of our heritage. See the Great Barrier Reef one of the world's wonders. Take a journey to Uluru in central Australia, the world's second largest monolith. Tourists always go to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Australia is a very large country, so plan your stay before you go. Then you can experience your visit in confidence. Visit Again!
Rock paintings of 10,000 years ago show people throwing boomerangs. The wooden weapon was used to hunt hares, birds and other small animals. As soon as bows and arrows were developed its use by a culture stopped. Usually, only the wooden implement that returns to the thrower is called a boomerang. It is thought to have been developed in India as well as Europe. Though it is commonly ascribed to Australian aboriginals.
The existence of the boomerang is restricted to the Eastern and Southern Australia. It was unknown to Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory, Tasmania, half of South Australia and the northern parts of Queensland and Western Australia.
Boomerangs are made of roughly V-shaped hard wood, with arms slightly skewed, and the angle between the arms ranging from 90o to about 160o. Both edges are sharpened; one surface is flat, and the other slightly convex, so the boomerang blades are carved in the shape of an airfoil

Like much of Australia's early folklore, the origins of the Dog on the Tuckerbox are clouded in mystery, uncertainty and controversy. Yet, as with 'Waltzing Matilda', its origins lie firmly in the Australian bush and the early pioneers.
They were hard and hazardous times with supplies and stores having to be transported along makeshift tracks over rough terrain by bullock teams. To pass the time while often being bogged, or for the river level to fall at crossings such as Muttama Creek near Gundagai, 'bullockies' would recite doggerel and rhymes picked up on their travels - and, sometimes, even write a few lines. Often on such occasions the bullocky's dog would sit guarding its master's tuckerbox and possessions while he was away seeking help.

Bowyang Yorke's Poem
As I was coming down Conroy's Gap,
I heard a maiden cry;
There goes Bill the Bullocky,
He's bound for Gundagai.
A better poor old beggar
Never earnt an honest crust,
A better poor old beggar
Never drug a whip through dust.'
His team got bogged at the nine mile creek,
Bill lashed and swore and cried;
'If Nobby don't get me out of this,
I'll tattoo his bloody hide.'
But Nobby strained and broke the yoke,
And poked out the leader's eye;
Then the dog sat on the Tucker Box
Nine miles from Gundagai.
As I was coming down Conroy's Gap,
I heard a maiden cry;

He's bound for Gundagai.
A better poor old beggar
Never earnt an honest crust,
A better poor old beggar
Never drug a whip through dust.'
His team got bogged at the nine mile creek,
Bill lashed and swore and cried;
'If Nobby don't get me out of this,
I'll tattoo his bloody hide.'
But Nobby strained and broke the yoke,
And poked out the leader's eye;
Then the dog sat on the Tucker Box
Nine miles from Gundagai.
