Auzzie yarn

The newspaper, "The Australian," over a period of weeks sought entries for
The Great Australian yarn.
This was the winner:

Two cattle drovers were standing in an Outback bar. One asked, "What are ya
up to, mate?"
"Ahh, I'm takin' a mob of 6000 from Goondiwindi to Gympie."
"Oh yeah ... and what route are you takin'?"
"Ah, prob'ly the Missus ... after all, she stuck by me durin' the drought"

Yep Ruby,
The saying you have....'I'm rooting for you', certainly has a different meaning over here!

I'm rooting for you can cause a lot of confusion I'm sure!
