Chips was a great boozer. All lit up one evening in Melbourne, he went into what he thought was a posh hotel and asked for a beer. The staid lady behind the desk said "This is not a pub, my man. This is the Y.W.C.A ,where we save girls." "Strewth" said Chips, "I'm too drunk tonight. Save me one for tomorrow night." *************************************************************************** *by Ric 

We have this cousin called Dave. Well Dad said one time “Dave, you’re a grown man now and can take care of yourself when you go into town, so I am sending you down to Sydney to order a new windmill for our selection.”

Dave had never been to the city before but he had had a few trips into Boggabri township and except for getting into the wrong room at the boarding house and into the wrong bed with the landlady’s daughter and nearly having to marry her, nothing went wrong .

Of course there was the time he was caught playing two-up with some of the town lads and ended up in the clink overnight and had to pay a five pound fine. Nothing else though.

So he went down to Sydney on the steam-train, with a billy of sweet cold tea, some bonzer damper and thick kangaroo-tail soup from Mum, to eat on the way. Mum didn’t trust that railway refreshment-room tucker and wanted Dave to arrive in the big smoke without having to run to the lav every five minutes from the runs. “And keep away from Chinese Cafes, Davey” she warned “They cook cats and those under-cooked vegetables are no good for your digestion.. Mrs Bottomley found some fur on her plate one time, and it wasn’t rabbit.”

Dave booked into a hotel down near Central Station with a sign “Sydney’s Best Hostelry. We cater for Decent Country people. Ten shillings a Night for a Single Room. No visitors of the Opposite Sex and no spitting on the floor. Please Do not Wash your Socks in the Wash Basin..”

Dave was decent and he didn’t wear socks anyway and he would remember not to spit on the floor, so in he went.

It was getting late. The train trip had been long and he was tired. He had just settled down in bed, carefully placing his boots, bowyangs, strides and dentures on the chair, leaving on his underpants that Mum had made lovingly out of a Mother’s Choice flour sack, when there was a rattle on the door and a female voice called out “Are you there, dearie?”

Dave, nonplussed, opened the door a crack and there was a floozy-looking woman half-drunk, it seemed, smiling at him.

“I’m the maid service,” she said coyly and pushed her way in.

“Dave was inclined to stutter a bit when he was nervous and he was nervous now.

“I, I, don’t need no er maid er service.” Says Dave backing away.

“Well you got one . And I’m only going to cost you a quid” She was already sitting on the bed undoing her stockings.

She was gone in about an hour and Dave was one pound short from the seven pounds Dad had given him for the trip.

He felt guilty and his tiredness was gone. He decided to write Mabel a letter, but he wasn’t going to mention about what just happened. Instead he talked about the wonders of city life.

“You know Mabel,” he wrote with a pencil stub that needed sharpening, “they got all the mod cons here. They even got a dunny in this here hotel room. After you do your business, you pull a chain and a lot of good fresh water fills up and you can wash your hands and face real good. Remember to check on that cow that has the sore udder. See you soon”

I met an old bushie out Boggabri way, camped by the riverbank. He had a beaten-up pushbike and he carried his swag on it, with blackened billies containing potatoes, sugar, tea and flour.

A basket hung from the handlebars. In it sat a blue cattle dog pup. The bushie, who said his name was Harry Nash went down to the billabong and in a half hour caught a couple of fish using grasshoppers as bait and put them on his campfire to cook with the damper. He threw some bullock bones with meat on them to the pup which gnawed at them making little rasping noises. " If we had some beers " he said to me "we could yarn all day mate, but I got to get moving again soon. Heard there was work up at the Pengilly station and they got good tucker there and pay you well." "I'm driving the landrover over past there. Do you want a lift? The bike could fit in the back easily." "Naw, mate" he replied,"the pup don't like cars and anyway travellin' would be too easy if I got a ride all the time. And I'd get there too soon." He grinned, showing a gap in his teeth. "Heh, Harry." I asked, "Do you know how far back that Nash name of yours goes?" "Well now, I think it's from the First Fleet. You know, 1788 and all that...." "Jesus Christ! I'm a bloody cousin of yours a few times removed...." "Yeah, you might be. We're thousands of us and we don't know each other, and we don't bloodywell want to know each other. So long mate. No, I don't want your money." I put the ten quid back in my pocket. That was about fifty years ago, I suppose. He was right. All the many descendants of William Nash and Maria seem to want to ignore one another, the rich and the poor, the successful, the strugglers, and most of us in between. *****************************************************************************
