God bless you!<BR/><BR/>PG, so wonderful of you to drop by :D thankyou for your kind words.<BR/><BR/>Shannon, I think its necessary to make these stories. The native Australians built rich layers of communion between the land and themselves. To be truely appart of ones environment one needs stories to relate to. Its a topic that I try to develop through my toys and stories. Thankyou for your kind words.<BR/><BR/>xxxs and ooosFlorence Forresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07539672176570172886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29400880.post-82918396590286716162007-03-14T08:32:00.000+10:002007-03-14T08:32:00.000+10:00You are so brilliant Florence.

Australiana with style like Rolf Harris himself!! <BR/>We used to sing the xmas song 6 white boomers but being new immigrants thought the words were "6 white bloomers". Mother was tres amused. No-one ever explained what a boomer was to us. I guess they are called boomers because of the booming noise made as they bound along on the hard baked plains. Have you heard the story of how the kangaroo got its name?Rebecca-the-Wreckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675132959467696109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29400880.post-17971133272052729552007-03-13T05:40:00.000+10:002007-03-13T05:40:00.000+10:00Another wonderful interpretation, Florence.
