watch the parade, attend a thong throwing contest (aka flip flop throwing contest), the dunny races (aka portable potties), awards go out for the volunteer of the year, etc.....
and then theres the cane toad race:
This year our local contendersare:
Nimble Phil
Skinny Dipper
Fearless Fiona
Bob the Bruiser
Vivacious Vivienne
Somlyay's Surprise
Elmer Thud
Desperate Deborah
Waffling Warren
Big Mac
Grand Garry
Beefcake Brian
Marauding Mavis
Cyclone Shirl
The IGA Sanction
King Benny
Cow Cockey
The Northshore Hippie
Gentleman George
Durrie Dunker
Some of the names are based on local town councillors or "celebrities" of the area. As much as I would love to say I can tell you who the winner will be, I wont be attending the race- I see enough cane toads jumping thru Ma & Pa Kettles backyard on any given day. Just kidding, I see them in my driveway as well!
On a funny note: You know what the green tree frog looks like right? Well, Firestick J is HIGHLY scared of the green frogs. She doesnt mind the cane toad tho... yuck... i would rather see a green frog than a cane toad (he can make a dog froth at the mouth if eaten!). Ah the phobias... now snakes and spiders are my phobias... totally justifiable!
