I enjoyed this. Your descriptive words made it easy for me to visualize the scene. Made me want to be there. I actually took the time to try and sound out the aboriginal words.

I really enjoyed your flash fiction and your words conjured up such colorful images...but as a person who isn't familiar with the lingo I was some what puzzled but some of the nomenclature.

G'day folks, Thanks for reading and I did put some author's notes to help with our lingo. In Oz we have 10,000 aboriginal dialects. My writing is simple compared with the whole kit and caboodle! Bless you friends. XXK.

I love this, K. Your flash fiction into the family Gundaroo are entertaining and contain much wisdom with your clear approach.
Best of luck to you with the Contest Committee. :))

Comment from PoemsOfDD
This is an excellent entry for the Flash Fiction contest.
I like that it makes me feel I too am on the banks of this river watching the boys bring in the barramundi for their grandmother's approval. It also shows the love a grandmother has for her grandsons and their adventurous nature. A worthy six shower. ~DD

Thanks for giving us a glimpse of life in the outback.
I love hearing all those unusual words from Australia.
The language is as unusual as the species that roam the continent. Always a treat. Good luck Kayce. Nancy:)

Hello Kace, this may be fiction but it sounds like fact. Your use of all the language is impressive. You write a simple story with skill and make it sound really interesting. Very well written - Good Luck - love Dorothy x

Hello Dorothy, Thanks for reading. Based on fact. My grandmother was aboriginal. I wanted to write more, alas, 150 words stopped me. I have 17 chapters written on the Aboriginal Dreamtime (if you are interested.) Love, Kay.
Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
The story is beautifully written and very engaging. Your use of imagery to convey emotion and tone is well executed and a genuine accomplishment since that is so hard to do within word count restrictions. I ran this through three separate word checks, as well as counting manually in order to be sure and I get 146 words and not the required 150. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Thank you my friend, for taking the word count three times. I did write it on a word count program, still, I have added four words; taking your word for it! Many thanks for picking it up. Love, Kace.
-
I just checked it again and it is EXACTLY 150 words. I wanted to be sure so as not to let you down, my friend.
-
I so appreciate your help with this; now stop counting! You would think a word processor would get it right?
Have a great evening? Love, Kace XX
