Alles, was das Outback so zu bieten hat: Roadtrains, die viel Staub aufwirbeln, Roohs, die über die Straße hüpfen und in Undara auf dem Caravanpark abends am Lagerfeuer Gitarrenmusik mit australischer Countymusic.
Und natürlich, das darf ja nicht fehlen, die inoffizielle australische Nationalhymne: Walzing Mathilda.
Wobei einige Zuschauer die Geschichte mitgespielt haben, alles war dabei, die Trooper, Schaf und natürlich Jolly Swagmann am Lagerfeuer, alles toll aus dem Stehgreif improvisiert.
Das war ein superschöner Tagesabschluss in Undara.
Der Text von Walzing Mathilda:
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda You'll come a waltzing matilda with meAnd he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stuffed that jumbuck in his tucker-bag
You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Up rode the troopers, one, two, three
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?"
You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into that billabong
"You'll never take me alive!", said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pa-ass by that billabong
You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
