Is this a Billabong?

BlueWolf · 17th Jul 2008, 10:13

Or just a muddy puddle....and where on earth could it be?

Spooky Mr Wolf!

A billabong? Nah! There's no jolly swagman under the coolabab tree.

tony draper · 17th Jul 2008, 10:41

Nah! part of the Oz motorway system that is.

It's a service area where they fill their Billys up/

This AskOxford: Search Results is a billabong.

That is a muddy puddle.

Curious shape though ! Although I'm wondering if a computer was involved in generating it.

BlueWolf · 17th Jul 2008, 11:17

Well I did wonder that myself, though for my part it is forwarded as received.

Bluewolf.

Have done similar...

1. Find softish mud whilst driving home from fishing trip, crack a beer;
2. Draw shape and excavate in a shallow manner, crack a beer;
3. Since we are not far from home ditch water jerry cans into design, crack a beer; and,
4. take photos, crack a celebratory beer.

Its not a billabong its on a track. Billabongs are seasonal lakes, as in the river flows, the river dries and lakes form. Next wet season repeat.

New an aboriginal fellow that 'billabong fished'..threw a stick of dynamite into a small billabong (say 1/4 a football/soccer field), killed all the fish, waded in, cooked them up, had a feast (the fish die in weeks anyway in small billabongs due no plants, no oxygen and evaporation).

Bet there's one shaped like Elvis a bit further along the track.

Is this the Aussie equivalent of crop circles?

Farrell · 17th Jul 2008, 13:12

It has been "shopped".

More smudge-tool practice is required.

Davaar · 17th Jul 2008, 14:12

Blue Wolf it could be anywhere in the GAFA

larssnowpharter · 17th Jul 2008, 16:44

Hmmm. One thought that 'billabong' was dried zebra or summat.

Anyway, back to the subject of the thread.

BlueWolf, the answer to your cryptic question

Sudan.

Sudan? Not enough water.

This is the Sudan:

Never said I was retracting my original statement about this potentially being a computer assisted job.

However the "official" story goes as follows......

Merely a urine extraction exercise, Mr Mixture.....
