On their way to Kakadu he was describing the amazing abilities of the Australian Aborigines to track man or beast over land, through the air and under the sea.
The Americans were incredulous.
Later in the day, as the group rounded a bend on the highway they discovered, lying in the middle of the road, an Aborigine...
He had one ear pressed to the white line, whilst his left leg was held high in the air!
The bus stopped and the guide and the tourists gathered around the prostrate Aborigine...
"Hey Jacky," said the tour guide, "what are you tracking and what are you listening for?" The aborigine replied,
"Down the road about 25 miles is a 1971 Valiant Ute... It's a red one... the left front tyre is bald...
The front end is out of whack, and him got bloody dents in every panel...
There are 9 black fellas in the back, all drinking warm sherry.
There are 3 kangaroos on the roof rack and 4 dogs on the front seat."
The American tourists moved forward, astounded by this precise and detailed knowledge.
"God Lord man, how do you know all that?," asked one.
The Aborigine replied:... I fell out of the ****en thing about half an hour ago!"
