Magenta could feel something hot on her face. She opened her eyes and looked up, to see a slender white gum tree reaching across her, dangling its grey green leaves down towards her. The branches reached up towards the vast blue sky, and the warmth was the heat of a hot morning sun. Magenta sat up. she had been lying on the red earth, in a bed of white feathers and yellow grass. She turned her head and saw two long, long legs, a short faded denim skirt, a Tshirt that said "Australian Maid", black ray bans, a big smile, and a river of raven hair. It was the woman from last night. Suddenly it all started coming back…..

"Hey, owl woman, I'm Hilda – hadda bit too much grog last night? Watcha doing out here under the tree?" Magenta grinned. This woman was full of spunk.

"Wanna hit the tracks?" Magenta looked over the women's should and saw her striding towards an old pink Holden FJ , all tarted up and ready to ride… "Sure", she grinned, and leapt into the car next to Hilda.
