It’s late at night and I am at least 30 clicks deep into youtube when I stumble upon Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. I dunno why but I havent been able to stop laughing. Its past 3:am here. Ā I am confounded but my deeepest Thank you Australia, you’ve made my night.
Buy the ticket, take the ride.
I have decided that if I ever get to Australia, I probably won’t be coming back. š

I grew up with Skippy – Skippy was better than any dog – so faithful and really looked after Sonny (I was SO jealous of Sonny). I learned to whistle using grass or leaves thanks to that show. There must have been 100 episodes or so – I could have hummed and sung that theme without needing a reminder. Loved that show (it played in our country about the same time as we had Flipper and Grizzly Adams on the telly too).

first – so lovely to see you Isabeau
Second how do you whistle with grass or leaves? Ive never seen flipper or Grizzly Adams. Gonna add them to the list. Kangaroos are pretty cool

Hey there Dave

Things getting a little less crazy in my world. Now, I was going to marry Grizzly Adams… I don’t think he knew it, but my little heart only a few years old harboured an enormous love for him. I must see if I can find the series and see what I make of it as an adult!
OKAY – awesome skill you are about to practice – you need to place a blade of grass vertically between your thumbs… make sure the grass is straight/taut. Hold to your mouth and blow. You can do the same thing with thin to medium thickness leaves too, as long as they are long enough…
Hmmm… I am finding this hard to describe so just went looking for instructions on the ubiquitous youtube
Have fun!!!
