One of our many wandering correspondents has emailed a baffling video from Melbourne of a succulent, dancing , giant frog . Without any attached info, one can only surmise that with all the tunnelling going on in the Victorian capital many mutated frogs are being unearthed , forced onto the streets , becoming buskers to prevent themselves from croaking .
Melburnians are simple souls who spend hours watching such mundane events as the Moomba Festival , Aussie Rules matches and delight in seeing horses being flogged with whips racing about in circles .
Our Shipping Reporter, who has a soft spot for Melbourne and fairy penguins, claims the frog was a last minute entrant in the contest to represent Australia at the EuroVision spectacular . Tragically, the frog chose to perform outside a French restaurant, where the staff had been underpaid for years , and ended up on the menu .
