 Well, all in all, that wasn't so bad, was it? Nice night.

Quick warning to everyone on Partridge though, uh... Eucalyptus leaves are deadly poisonous, but only if ya eat 'em. They're actually useful as, but keep an eye on any pets or small children that waltz by my backyard, alright? Right then.

Once a jolly swagman, camped by a billabong
under the shade of a koowaba tree!

No, no, no! [ Shaking the tree. ] Get down from there so I can hit ya!

[It's a little too sturdy for her shaking it to have any effect, but Aus laughs anyway.]

What's a . . youkalicktus leaf? And what did you say they were useful as . . . ?

[thatsnotaknife]

It's a type of tree from my place. The oil in the leaves is dead useful! Medicine, perfume, insect repellent, separating sulfides, fuel...

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . It sounds almost like a magic tree. Where do you come from?

[thatsnotaknife]

S'not magic, just... Stuff. I'm Australia.

Gay your life must be!
