.......at this, Epaulette snarled and squinted, they way he did if you stuffed up a ground guide where he expected you to use the wet cow pats to glide at 20 mm above the ground for as long as the Jab was prepared to stretch it; the fear of what EP would do to you if you actually touched dirt was ..................

.......decided to set EP up one day. EP could be unpredictable when you flew......just like the Jab, so you had to be ready for anything, but EP always did the same sequence when testing students. Well not always; every tenth student go it reversed, but 9 out of 10 you knew when you were for the cow pat test. The females were tested just the same as the males; EP was a stickler for Diversity.

It was time for Pip's test (we can't give you her real name because she went on to a senior position in CASA.)

Student Paul secreted himself behind an agreed Gorse bush with a bucket of blood from the local knackery.

Sure enoughh EP pulled the cow pat trick.

Pip set a trajectory to take here near the gorse bush, and suddenly exclaimed "WHAT WAS THAT BANG!"

"What bang?" asked EP who had been reading a newspaper.

They circled and there spreadeagled was a person covered in so much blood he was almost certainly dead.

They flew back to the strip, jumped in the ute and drove back over the paddock. 

When they got there the body was gone but in its place were police numbered markers denoting the body and a trail of squashed cow pats.

Pip squeezed back a laugh at EP's face ............................

This type of smut must stop immediately. Where are the Moderratti when you need them?

The cake piping device looked like these, prior to being filled below the bull's tail (but not our bull's).

Note the swirls that can be achieved when used deftly.

....a pattern that had won the Launceston Show's Sponge Cake Championship year after year.

This amazing invention was also partly responsible for Turbine Beef's string of 17 Champions of Show and the annual Longreach Royal Show, Rodeo and Rooster Chase.

Turbo's bulls would be trimmed then groomed by the Longreach Hair Salon, and if they dropped a load, Patty, as he was called would move in before the last drip and fashion a beautiful pattern, whereas the other entrants just left the copats as they were.

Over the years Turbo often noticed the longing look of the Judge, thinking of his grandma's sponge all covered in patterned cream.

..... Turbo's grandma turned up in all her toothless, gravity ravaged, deaf, bow legged, yet still cheerful and vibrant self (you can certainly see the direct lineage between Turdy and his "Grammy" [She had been a vivacious entertainer, yet a bit loose with her favours (again, similar to Turdboy} for quite some years and the Grammy Award was therefore named after her]).

 

Turdy's Grammy walked straight over to the judge and laid a tonguey on him, in such a manner that the prize orders were immediately established and he became quite visually excited, if you know what I mean.

Some NESsers might be wondering how we've driftered off the av theme and now we can reveal the reason some AUF members can afford  new over the top airctraft and others can't; it's the Grammy Method where OT does  the cash extraction with his quill, leaving many satisfied but without their millions.

......Kununurra?

The dapper little figure wearing only a pair of shorts would scurry down Riverfig Av to pick up his "five pounds of pork sausages" then into Coles for the groceries, loading them into the old Landcruiser tray with the old trailer on which sat a Sling with foldup wings like a Corsair Carrier aircraft. He'd patented the hinges which came from track shoes on an old Cat D3 he'd picked up in Dingo.

He never told anyone what he was doing or where he was going , but would drive a few K out of town, unload the Sling and search for any yellow CATs or Orange Allis Chalmers. He wouldn't do what all the others did and winch their old 40 tonne find onto a semi which cost $40,000 to get it back to civilisation and another $230,000 in rent by the time he'd sold all the parts. Oh Nooo; The Outback was his storage shed and he only took home the part ordered by his customers. He got a kick out of the free rent courtesy of the land owners and the Commonwealth, and particularly when an old CAT or AC was on Noongar Country. It was ............

.... like they were all stored in Fort Knox, because as we have discussed previously in this Story, Onesie is a Kurdaitcha Man and right at the top of the Kurdaitcha pecking order/totem pole. (And not just the poxy WA pole either, but OT has actually knocked off Noel Peirson and Eddie Marbo in the National stakes).

 

Part of OT's elevation to Kurdaitcha folk law is that he is pigeon toed and when he walks around in his Kurdaitcha slippers it looks like the tracks of the famous but deadly Killer Rainbow Duck (KRD), so the Noongar want none of that caper, eh, and it's certainly not worth risking grief from the KRD for knocking off the governor from the engine of a D6, so they ......

 

A very rare photo of OT, signing autographs outside the boxing tent at the Southern Cross Show.

 

 

A postmodern representation of the Killer Rainbow Duck that gave the Rainbow Serpent so much grief during their stoush for control during the REM Time.

.....leave OT's tractors and equipment alone. But the true reason OT was sighted in a Kununurra pub wasn't anything to do with Cats or Allis Chalmers, it was because OT had received a message on the Noongar elder grapevine (and of course, OT is an Elder, and the Noongars respect him far and wide. Once OT tells the Mormons he's an Elder too, they leave him alone) - that a WW2 warbird wreck had been sighted in the long grass of a Kimberley station remote back paddock.

 

OT is always on the hunt for archaeological treasures of the powered kind, and a WW2 warbird wreck was high on his list of "finds", yet to be discovered. His aim was always to beat other members and contributors of the NES to wreck finds - and it wasn't just about the glory and money associated with WW2 wreck finds, it was............

....spoils of war.  Cappy realised OT was making good money. Unfortunately the Cook family DNA kicked in. In the mid 1800s OT's ancestor Benjamin Over Traveller, convict, had scraped together the remains of a wrecked ship and managed to build a small dwelling in Melbourne's Fitzroy Gardens. It was the first BNB to be opended in Melbourne. BOT, as he was called had almost made enough money to pay off his debts, when Captain (doubtful) Josiah Collingwood Cook built a Guest House and included Breakfast and dinner for half BOT's price. BOT was already doing it tough when the soldiers came, and told him to get out of town. "There's gold in the West" one of them said helpfully, but BOT missed Ballarat and finished up in Kalgoorlie, so he had extra travel costs.

Captain Cook's guesthouse is still in the gardens today and whenever the City Council tries to bulldoze it or shut it down, mysteriously The Governor herself shows up in her Bentley Sports, and threatens to belt the crap out oof them.

 

So it was no surprise that when OT started making good cash with Hellcat parts and Land Rover lug nuts who shouilld show up but the alleged descendant, out own Captain Cook VII (no bars)........
