This is another new mini-series for the coming weeks.
You’ll see Ginger and his mates explore the Aussie bush, come in contact with Aussie animals, and get into all sorts of trouble in true form.
Apologies in advance for any Aussie references that may escape our international readers. I’ve attempted to make it as accessible as possible, whist remaining as typically Australian as Meggs aught to be.
Enjoy reading, and as always, thanks for coming back every day. I write the strip for you, the readers, and it’s always encouraging to see who’s reading and what they think.
Jason- - - Thank you for the introduction to the upcoming adventure. With you and Usfellers or any other Aussies out there, I’m sure we can get an explanation to something we don’t understand.
The First Australians, the Aborigines, believed the kookaburra made its unique and piercing sound to advise the sun it was time to rise and light the land. In recognition of this a famous Australian firm called Metters produced The Early Kooka gas stove in the 1930s.
The first models featured a most attractive large picture on the oven door of a kookaburra sitting on a scroll which carried the words ‘The Early Kooka’. Although they do not meet the standards for gas appliances today, good examples of these stoves are highly sought after for period kitchen decor.
