"Well, good on ya! Aren't you a chipper sheila? You're a rarity here, ya know that?"

Bronwyn can't help but chuckle, a small smile forming over her lips as she props herself up against a post. Doreen had successfully charmed her with her genuine optimism, so he had to take it upon herself as the local legend to be the best tour guide her new companion would see in a hundred-kilo radius. The Aussie wasn't lying, though. Most people around here just got drunk off one's face at the pub and pissed around watching footy on whoever's TV could handle showing it.

Livin' the dream in the Great Australian Fuck All!

"Yeah, it's little alright," she replies, squinting up at the sky, gauging the time from the sun, "if ya think it's great in town, you oughta see what it's like out in the bush! It's gettin' a bit later in the arvo now; I think we could see some real beauts if you don't mind a ride and a bit of a walk." It'd give her something to brag about back home, anyways. 'Straya was always known for its unique animals, and if there was someone who knew where to find the best sights and species, it was Crocodile Dundee herself.

the chittering comes over her shoulder. tippy-toe is just as confused, even a little horrified : ‘ doreen, i have no idea what she’s trying to tell me. and did you know there’s no squirrels native to australia? did you know that? did you know we’re considered INVASIVE SPECIES? let’s get in, and get out! ’
