15. RAINY DAY HOUSEHOLD COMMENTARIES, OUTBACK NEW SOUTH WALES
b. The Meanest Property Owner I Ever Met
made me use my own car to check the cattle, i did the gardening and the weeding and
he wouldn't even get me a wheelbarrow, there was a big hole in the fence on the western
perimeter of the property, i told him that the cattle were getting through, he said, 'good
they can eat the grass of the other property owner and then come back again for water,'
he killed an old bull out there down on the backblocks, tried to feed it to me, even the dogs
wouldn't eat it, he's the only bloke i know that makes five cups of tea out of one tea bag,
one pair of trousers all winter, was so tight on the purse strings, didn't eat salt and pepper |
