Outback Towns and Pubs Volume 2: Volume 2

Join Swampy for a laugh in Aramac as Old Jack attempts to leave the pub; be spooked by the vision of a nun in Kojonup; wrestle with crocs in Nhulunbuy and find out why a very drunk local from Normanton legs it at a pace from the hospital... Long after the last tale has been told, you′ll still hear laughter from the pub, the crash of a drunken donkey falling in a trench and recall the time... they found this bloke, sitting in the main street at 3 o′clock in the morning, hammering one of those survey pegs in the ground. So they said, ′What the hell are you doing?′ And this drunk feller replies, ′I′m driving a peg inta the arsehole of the world.′
