BURLEIGH CAPTURES DARWIN LOONS

While rebuilding his noble Pajero during a pit stop in the dramatic  outback Redex Trial , Bulldust Diary columnist and illustrator, Peter “Gelignite “ Burleigh ,took time out to send us the above sketch , being his impression of Mr and Mrs Average Darwinite in the oppressive build up - driven troppo by awful drivers , hoons, barking dogs, blackouts , the threat of massive power hikes , outrageous rents , the  gyrating new NT Government  , ABC newsreaders who can’t pronounce words , prickly heat and the media’s obsession with crocodiles and other flim flam while major issues go unreported . Warning : Some readers may be offended  by Burleigh’s   harsh representation of the average salt- of –the- earth Darwin couple . Don’t worry–in recent posts he has upset Telstra , Qantas  Queenslanders, Grey Nomads , Germans, waiters and damaged Australia’s entente cordiale with  France .
