Spud's a movie star!
G'day, and its another hot one here at Waly Waters, but we've got some big news!
Spud, yes, our own Spud Murphy, the Daly Waters Drongo, looks as though he's going to be a TV star! And some of the rest of us are going to be on TV as well.
Have you heard of Russell Coight? He's, like, this big time real earthy reporter for Network Ten, and he reports on the real Australia - none of your ponsy stuff for Russell - he shows what life is actually like in the outback - he features the actual news and actual people and the actual stories.
He pitched up with a whole TV set (there was him, and the producer, a cameraman, and a couple of fair dinkum Sheilas who didn't seem to do too much except comb Russell's hair and put some makeup on him and generally pamper him, until Rick got to know them better, that is) a couple of weeks ago here at Daly Waters, and they've been filming all over the station with Spud in tow ever since.
They interviewed most of us on the first two days, but chose Spud to be one of the stars of a programme for the next series. Rick tried to warn them off Spud, because, well...Spud is Spud, isn't he. But they seemed to think he had 'hidden talents'.
They've filmed Spud on his horse, down at the billabong, out in the bush, and all sorts of other places. They also brought enough slabs with them to keep us going for three whole days! No expense spared. They did say that they thought the booze might last a bit longer. I think they thought it would do them until they got to the top end.
Tomorrow, there's a big party at Daly Waters Pub, and the amber nectar's all free!
This will really put the station on the map, eh?
Watch out for it - Russell Coight's All Aussie Adventures - on a TV near you, soon.

Carsely! What excellent news! Us here in chilly Jockoland can't wait! Will the video be available freely or will it be a strictly under the counter job? Hotboy
G'day Hotboy. You'll be pleased to know that Spud raved about your recent visit here, to Russell Coight, though I don't know whether they will include this in the show.
You can see information about the previous series at http://www.russellcoight.com/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Aussie_Adventures. They put out a DVD of the last series, so we hope they will also put the next series on DVD after its been on TV.
I thought you only had video, though.
I had already heard the sad news that Kath and Kim had reached British and Malawi TV, but surely not Russell Coight too now? No wonder the Southern Hemisphere gets a bad name.
Yet at the same time the Brits have banned the monstrously expensive but equally-embarrassing Australian TV advert campaign, because it uses the words "bloody hell." Or that's what we're told over here anyway - maybe it was just banned for being naff, that would make sense.
PS my congrats to Spud.
WOW! That is awesome! I wish I could see it.
That is wonderful.
