Has there ever been a double winner from that part of the world?
Now now guys.
Most of the winners are tourists. But there have been exceptions. Darwin is after all the town of the worlds highest beer consumption and two very unforgiving creatures from either end of the … chain/
The first is the saltwater crocodile, a common eater of tourists with a known taste for pretty fraulines, and a soap hero of the most wicked cartoonist ever methinks, ‘wicking’ of the NT news. Wicking does well with another soap hero and Darwin conquestor, ‘the dingo’ of Ayers Rock fame.
Speaking of the rock there was once a loser who attacked the pub there once with a road train, that’s the second very unforgiving creature a 150 tonne three trailer fifty metre long giant. He knocked over a few drinkers and I’m not sure if the road train didn’t end up in the truck museum in the ‘Alice’, there was some strange sequel.
In the road train stakes, a couple of tourist losers (grey nomads) indicated left with their car and caravan then turned right underneath one. To add insult to injury the ‘load’ this day was one hundred and eighty fat bullocks on their way to a pleasure cruise, who vented their displeasure all over the evidence while the coppers were arriving.
The highest achievers were THREE in one go, British damsels who drove under another road train; this one was loaded with one hundred and twenty thousand litres of high octane fuel. The damsels had shown their consideration in not smoking as there was no fire.
The exception was a drinker who wanted to buy his mate that he had picked up outside the Humpty Doo pub a beer. His mate a King Brown – one of the world’s ten most deadly snakes - most ungraciously bit him about 42 times.
Beats me how in amongst all of this there is enough intellectual room for a university in Darwin town ~ named also in honour of our famous evolutionist.
