NOMADS GUNNING FOR BURLEIGH !!!


Furious Grey Nomads throughout the nation are gunning for Bulldust Diary columnist/ illustrator , Peter Burleigh , following his latest Little Darwin send up of them and their luxurious mobile homes which clog the outback roads ( see post below ). The dreaded Grey Nomads Inc. Godfather has issued a fatwah against Burleigh saying he should be shot, his hide tanned and flown upside down from the mast on the poop deck of the ship of state, SS Canberra . Burleigh, who travels in a tattered pop up tent and dresses like Mahatma Gandhi in the outback , scoffed when told of the fatwah. He says he has many friends in the Melbourne underworld who will protect him from an army of vengeful Nomads.To back up his claim , he produced the drawing he did ( above ) of his old mate, the vicious Melbourne murderer, Squizzy Taylor,who got about in a flash T-model Ford , which would be the envy of every modern Grey Nomad. Nevertheless, Burleigh retreated to a bunker at Chateau Hurstbridge , where police keep a 24 hour watch on the suspicious goings on that take place there . The CIA also bugs all telephone conversations . Criminal contacts have informed Little Darwin that tough guy Burleigh , despite his bravada , will  disappear overseas on a cargo boat to escape the grey brigade , like a key figure in Frank Hardy's sensational novel, Power Without Glory .
