OUR WORLD - Boys will be Boys

On our way back from Melbourne, after stopping at the

Ballarat Botanical gardens,(see post below) we hoped to

spend the night at the picturesque little town of Dunkeld

at the southern side of the Grampians but were sorely

disappointed since the whole place was booked out due

to a wedding.

Here you can just see the shadow of the mountains in the

distance. It was starting to get dark and we were forced to

drive through the mountain range to Halls Gap along a

pitted narrow road. All roads in the area had been badly

damaged by a massive rain event.

The scenery, while the light lasted, was spectacular of the

granite topped mountains.

Happily, in the pitch darkness, we got a room at the Halls Gap

Motel where in the early morning light we were greeted by

mobs of kangaroos grazing right outside our door.

Here, all is still quiet on the western front

but a challenge is offered for pistols for two at dawn.

Battle is firmly engaged,

at first looking almost like an invitation to the dance

a little stand off as the combatants size each other up

and fight in deadly earnest with their own unique style of

kick-boxing.

And another try at ripping his opponent's guts out,

while indulging in some wrestling for good measure.

Another missed kick from the gent on the right,

a little parlay,

Oh, I say old chap, it was only a misunderstanding!

And all's well that ends well and everyone can go back to

munching the grass.

Meanwhile, yours truly felt free to breathe again as I was so

close to them I could easily have become the outsider attacked

by both.
