MONKEY MIA FROM RED CLIFF, PERON PENINSULA WA. DOLPHINS HAVE COME HERE FOR 50 YEARS TO BE FED BY HUMANS. THEY REPRESENT THE OAK & TOTEM OF CLAN KENNEDY (AVIS LA FIN: CONSIDER THE END).
MY BEST FRIEND, RICHARD ALLEN CAME FROM RED HILL IN SURREY, ENGLAND. HE SUPERVISED A 10 YEAR STUDY ON A 500,000 ACRE SHEEP STATION NEAR CARNARVON TO RE-EDUCATE PASTORALISTS ON LAND MANAGEMENT. 1 DAY HE ASKED ME IF I'D COLLECT SAMPLES FOR HIM. I SAID "WHAT SORT OF SAMPLES?" & HE CASUALLY REPLIED "DUNG, BUT ITS DRY! WE'LL PAY YOU $15 AN HOUR". I WAS ON 12 MONTHS LEAVE WITHOUT PAY FROM QLD INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY SERVICES, PAID $10 AN HOUR TO CARE FOR INCONTINENT CLIENTS & AGREED. HE SHOWED ME WHAT TO DO AT 5 SEPARATE SITES THEN JOINED HIS TEAM FOR SMOKO. THEN HE GAVE ME THE KEYS TO A 4WD & A SATELLITE MAP, WHICH I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT. HIS MATES PROTESTED "GEEZ RICHARD; THAT'S A BIT ROUGH!" BUT HE SAID: "WE'LL SEE"; SO I FOUND EACH SITE, GOT THE SAMPLES, FOUND MY WAY BACK TO CAMP & A GREAT PART-TIME JOB.
