Jimmy Umbrella cooked

three meals a day -

bully beef for breakfast,

cold beef for lunch

and hot beef for dinner.

What's the matter?

Nothing, sir.

You're not talking.

You don't like me talking.

Never stopped you before.

What is it?

It's my birthday.

What do you want for a present?

A salad would be nice.

What else?

I was thinking

my mum would call.

She didn't.

Could I try to call her?

We're not going to talk

about your mother.

Come on.

Happy birthday.

Oh! I thought it was

gonna be a horse!

A horse?

How old do you think I am?

This was 1969.

Horses were out. Motorbikes

and helicopters were in.

Did you know how to ride

a motorbike?

Of course I knew how to ride it.

Oh, nooooooo!

Eventually.

Aaarghh!

The fact was,

it was lonely being in a new

place without any friends.

Seemed like everyone had

a companion already.

Argh!

Big John had Little John.

Jimmy had his umbrella.

Stemple had his guitar.

Those warriors at Wave Hill...

Taylor Pete had his politics

and land rights issue.

Gonna be a big one, boys!

Get in! Get in!

Durack, get in there!

What's going on?!

Cyclone coming!

And Grandpa...

had his gramophone.

The roof is anchored

to half-inch pipes

fixed by 18-inch U-bolts

to vertical railway lines

spaced 10 feet apart all

the way around the perimeter,

sunk three feet

into solid concrete.

So we're not gonna die?!

No!

- Stemple?

- Yeah?

Get into the air. First off,

we've got to find the mob.

Help those that are bogged

or trapped.

Little and Big,

you get out to the west end.

Durack and Taylor Pete,

you come with me

to the northern plateau.

What about me?

You look for the loose chickens.

Who's gonna drive?

I won again!

Hello.

Where did you come from?

OK, OK, don't worry.

I'll get you down.

Oh, you're a mess.

Do you have a name? No?

I'm gonna call you Blue.

Because you're blue.

Blue! You're red!

You're red!

I have a good feeling about us.

I think we're gonna be

best mates.

Shhh.

Where'd you put him?

I know you're not asleep.

You even know whose that is?

He's nobody's dog, Grandad.

I found him. His name's Blue.

Looks more red to me.

His name is Blue,

his colour is red.

- That makes sense to you'?

- Yes.

He's from Gujarala.

Durack's cousin's visiting

from Wyndham.

The pup's from his b*tch.

I'll talk to him.

Thank you! Thank you, sir.

On one condition.

Dogs don't sleep in the house.

Where's my bloody shaving cream?

Oi! Oi!

Mad!

Nah, that's

strychnine poisoning.

Plain as day, Jimmy.

Are you a vet now?

No, but I bloody well know

strychnine poisoning

when I see it.

- Could be rabies.

- Don't think so.

Look at the foam on his mouth.

Marlunghu.
