bush walking

Our hotel in Naracoorte is out of town a little

Surrounded by bush

A beautiful location

Very Australian

So I thought I’d walk off the dodgy omelette I’d had for brekky take a walk around and check it out

‘Cause I’m such a nature lover ‘n shit, you know?

I even found more FLOWERS to take pics of

And whatever the fuck this is this plant that I don’t know anything about

Wealth of information that I am not

And something truly Australian

A GUM TREE

Reminded me of that old song

Give me a home among the gumtrees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two, a kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
Verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair

Where was I?

Oh yeah, I was being at one with nature while I drank my latte and ate a hot dog

And I came across a paddock

With two big horses

And two little ones

I’m sure there’s a proper name for the little ones

But I don’t know it

Shetland Pony? Mini-horse? Donkey? Midget Mustang? Clydesdale’s Kid?

Whatever they’re called, the little fuckers totally need a hair cut

I would have given them my scrunchie but I only had one and being the mum of 2 kids I know that if you give one of them something and you don’t have another one there WILL be a shit fight

Plus it’s my favourite scrunchie from 1998

So, they took one look at me

And came running

I think I may have shit myself a little they probably thought I had food for them

But I wasn’t gonna share my bloody hotdog

I was pretty sure hotdogs aren’t part of a nutritional equine diet

So I just took their photos instead

They were very friendly

But after Miss 4’s experience in Sydney

I didn’t have the balls to actually pat them

I need my fingers to pick my nose & scratch my bum

I had a nice wander around for an hour

I saw these guys too

Hiding up the back of the paddock

They remind me of growing up in Australia

And Sunday roasts

Sorry fellas

Way to make myself hungry again
