Bin teachum mishum station plenty good write yabber down. Mine jes` bin readin` BULLUMTIN alonga scrub.  Ma word! Mine tink it Gub`mint yabber `bout de bee` de kin I heard. Mine tink it pitcher budgerry - dat Lin`say an` dat Hop. Mine tink it dem corrob`ree songs been alla same up top. Bin plenty good, dat lubra yabber; Red Page, berry fine; Dat White Australia policy jes` same alonga mine. But, tell you straight, boss, all dat talk `bout `possum, `roo and snake, Bin pull your leg, mine tink it.  It bin all a plurry fake. Mine s`pose dem blokes bin walkabout dat bush down Sydney way.
