Meet Gerard McBong-Bong , one of Magnetic Island’s famous levitating Allied Rock
Wallabies ,who today exclusively reveals why he , Leaping Lena , of “meter” (sic) jumping fame (see AUSTRALIA’S MARSUPIAL EVEL KNIEVEL
PLANS DEATH DEFYING GRAND CANYON LEAP) and other clan
members defy gravity .
The secret is the
made- in- China pogo stick , cunningly disguised
as a
cylindrical tail , which they carry about , enabling them to
bounce
up
and down rock outcrops
with astonishing alacrity. Readers with sharp
eyes
will
notice that
Gerard has an ugly
looking feral cat snuggled into his side
for safety. The feline has
good reason to be scared because
Little Darwin believes
all cats on the island , mostly covered by a national park , should be skinned
to protect the diverse
birdlife
and made
into Davy Crockett hats for the
American
backpacker souvenir trade.
