Day Three: On the Road with Whoop Whoop Walk About

G’day, adventurers!

After a bit of a rough and tumble yesterday, we’ve whipped out the first aid kit, bandaged all our owes, and now we’re back on the road, ready for more outback excitement.

Today, we’ll chat about some of the things you might run into on our tours. Let me tell you, it’s downright deadly to see these critters still lurking around where we roam!

Farmers aren’t too fond of them and will often lay out bait because these fellas are big enough to take down a lamb. When I was just a little tacker, I remember my Nyumi (Pop) showing me the ropes. He had this clever man’s tool called a wigwa’smugwet, also known as the death whistle.

Nyumi would blow the whistle, mimicking the sound of an animal in distress, and before long, a Wardapil, the lace monitor lizard, would come slinking out, thinking it was in for an easy meal. Just as it got close, Nyumi would give it a whack, and before you knew it, the lizard’s head was going one way, and its legs were going the other. We had a feast that night!

Today, we’re hoping to spot one of these beauties in their natural habitat. Who knows, maybe we’ll even catch one for old times’ sake. So, keep your eyes peeled, your ears open, and let’s see what the outback has in store for us!

Happy adventuring, and remember, when in doubt, follow the tracks and keep your wits about you!
