We got into a bushbasher and the driver stopped the engine and put his finger over his mouth to say " be quiet " there was a mob of roos about 300 yards away. My mates started to crawl towards the mob on their bellies through the grass with their rifles. Now I wasn't too worried about this at the time. If they shot one or two I wasn't going to be too upset. I just wasn't going to help them, they can clean up the mess themselves.
They were taking forever to crawl over to the mob and while i waited I noticed the empty shell cartridges on the floor of the bush basher. Being bored by this time I picked one up and blew over the top of it to make a whistle sound.
Mick came back with the rifle over his shoulder saying to Greg "I wonder why they all ran away."
There's a time to speak and a time not to speak.

reminds me of my teenagerhood. The bushbasher not the roo shootin although I did shoot a couple of guide posts. Ahh bushbasher (HR or EH?) on its roof in the pineforest or stuck on a broken bridge. The memories!
