| From Elephant's Child Billy
Jim and Esther Sue had saved all their lives for this trip, and by
golly, they would see as much of this street art place in Australia as
they could.
The bus tour gave them 45 minutes to roam about this park in the middle of Canberra called “Garema” Place.
“Hell,
Esther, if I’da wanted to look at weird metal sheep sitting on a bench,
I’da made one at home,” Billy Jim stood with his big belly balanced by
hands on hips. “Mighty dumb, if ya ask me.”
‘Glad
I didn’t ask.’ Esther Sue mentally responded. She came to a lonely
plaque on the sidewalk. As she read it silently, a tear slid down her
cheek. ‘Well, at least you rejoiced when it came, Linette Bone.'
Billy Jim hollered, “Time to git back on the bus. Git on over here, woman!”
Esther sighed, looking one last time at the plaque. ‘Hope you were loved, ….’ Then she joined Billy on the bus. This is a repost from 2011. Elephant's Child provides so many photos from her marvelous country. Check her out on Sundays.
