    @Calvin methinks you may be overthinking this! 😋

    Yes, not only was he a brilliant performer, but he was a brilliant song writer. The Ladies Lounge is now the dining room for the restaurant. Did you see the TV mini series with Rebecca Gibney playing his mother? It outlined a lot of his growing up years in Armidale. They moved here after his father shot himself as I recall. MP

    haha @Summerabbacat and don't ya just love a pair of Marracca's? LOL As it happens, Peter and I have a few things in common, like ... living in the same town, he went to school with my uncle (he was a couple of years above Unc. though), we've both had blow jobs in Cinders Lane (at least I didn't get busted by the cops though! haha), and I've had meals in the hotel bar where he used to perform here! Oh, and we both prefer guys! He's almost a brother! LOL

    -- Chapter Six -- ‘So, any plans for the day?’ Nate asked over coffee and more bum-fruit on toast. ‘Are we building again?’ ‘Loz said we could use the cement mixer, but it's not much good without bags of cement, so the plan is that we’ll slip into the local rural supply store and get some bags of concrete,’ Jake answered. ‘And while we’re at it, we could always take you sightseeing, if you fancy that?’ ‘Well, they tell me there are some waterfalls around here, so I wouldn’t

    And I suspect @Summerabbacat the Uncle Phil's new legal team may just drop him like a hot stone when they realise just how deep the pile of shit is they have inherited! 😉

    Thank you!

    Don't feel too bad @Summerabbacat I didn't know Kiwi fruits weren't Kiwi's either.

    @Summerabbacat "bum fruit" was one of those sayings from my childhood that just seemed to stick. It's a country thang, I guess! 😋 After what these guys went through in their first story I just had to give them some better experiences this time around ... but at the same time I want to put a few thoughts in the mind of the readers that will get them thinking about what comes next, particularly for Nate. Not too sure how much there is to go with KF, but even after Nate ships out I suspect there may be more story to tell with some of the other characters. 🙂 And THANK YOU for choosing that song! I was wondering what you might come up with! 😉

    -- Chapter Five -- Morning came, grey and cool, with magpies carolling right outside, or perhaps they could have even been inside, given that the place that Jake and Danny called home was still missing several walls. The bird’s song ricocheted off the corrugations and made the tank ring like a bell. With a groan, Jake rolled over, with his gaze settling upon Danny and Nate, wrapped up in each other’s arms and dreaming peacefully. Many men would see something wrong with their lo

    -- Chapter Four -- Lunch was served beneath the shade of the tarpaulins, once Danny had retrieved his shopping from the back of the panel van. On the timber bench that served as a counter, Danny laid out the makings of their Ploughman’s lunch. Thick, roughly cut slices of bread were soon slathered with farm-produced butter, then topped with slices of ripe, farm-grown tomatoes. Sliced meat and farm-made relish were added, followed by cheese, and more salad. Crown that with anothe

    @Summerabbacat oh, baby let your blue jeans talk, I say! haha I'm not really sure when the solar thing kicked off with them, but the Rainbow Power Company was established in Nimbin by a bunch of hippies LONG before solar power became a "thing" in mainstream Australia (I just looked it up ... they were established in 1987 ... but their alt power movement started before that I think). And yeah, I guess if you tried doing the commune thing these days, there would be that much government intervention you'd end up wanting to put a bomb under them! MP

    Thank you. And I am pretty sure you will like these guys ... and the roller coaster ride ahead!

    I would think something more like Woodstock, though nowhere near as big ... and not as much music. lol I think @Paladin is right with his comment about the song from Hair. I was 10 years old in 1973 and had a (pretty cool) primary school teacher who had us singing those songs! I have fond memories of that part of my childhood! 🙂

    -- Chapter Three -- It was only a short while later when Danny drove the van through an open gateway, on either side of which were old and weathered timber rails, one of which had been broken in the middle with the two pieces sagging down in a sad fashion. On one side of the gateway there was a post, leaning slightly sideways, upon which sat a steel drum, a mailbox, now going rusty. The drum had once been white, with the name Kandanga Falls painted on the side of it in red, but

    A couple of classics there @Summerabbacat. Thank you for the memories. I was particularly fond of Crystal. ❤️ This one is only a short one, designed (on purpose) simply as a stepping stone to help set up things for the real sequel to Seventeenth Summer and have Dear Reader thinking about what might happen later, based on the events of this little vignette. Remaining chapters will be posted next Monday and Friday, then the following Wednesday ... just spaced out slightly more than other stories were. Not sure *exactly* how many chapters there will be, as I haven't quite finished it yet, but there won't be too many more than that. ☮️🤔🦘😋

    @Summerabbacat Sshhh!!! Don't tell Primrose I plagiarised her! LOL Interesting song. Quite catchy, but I was particularly taken by 'the boyfriend' in the video!

    -- Chapter Two -- When Nate woke the following morning, to sunlight streaming through the bare windows of the caravan and birdsong filling the morning air outside, he quickly realised that he was alone. He couldn’t recall Skye having left him through the night, but he could recall almost every other detail: the touch of her skin against his, the faint smell of flowers in her hair, the taste of her lips on his, the feel of her hand on his youthful hardness as she guided him into

    😍 @Lynx003 there most definitely is!

    Have had the occasional one ... or a scotch and dry, but that's about it. Oh, there was one cold, misty night many years ago when a group of us horse riders were all huddled around a campfire and shivering, when some kind soul produced a bottle of Bailey's!!! That certainly hit the spot ... but that's about as far as my experiences with alcohol have extended! MP

    @Summerabbacat but I don't even drink! LOL
  23. Mark Ponyboy Peters
    @Summerabbacat I guess I'll just have to check it out now! LOL MP
  24. Mark Ponyboy Peters
    @Summerabbacat actually, no!!! I had no idea. As I recall, I came up with the name when I heard/saw/read about one that was quite similar, and just changed a couple of letters to create Kandanga. I think the original was in fact something to do with kangaroos, but I can't remember exactly what it was now...

    @Paladin I suspect you might be right there! lol
