Recited: As I came down Talbingo Hill I heard a maiden cry "There goes old Bill the bullocky! He's bound for Gundagai." Well, a better poor old bugger never earned an honest crust and a tougher bullock driver never drug his whip through dust! Bill's team got bogged on Five Mile Creek; Bill lashed and cursed and cried, "If Nobby don't get me out of this I'll tattoo his flamin' hide!" Well Nobby strained and broke the yoke and poked out Baldy's eye and the dog shat in the tucker box five miles from Gundagai! followed by singing the song, "Five Miles from Gundagai", also often referred to as "Nine Miles from Gundagai". Cheers, Rowan
