Honestly, I don't know. it looks like a home-made 'sound device' using ppart of a bamboo. Similar environment where Australians play Waltzing Matilda using a gum leave.

I can't play Waltzing Matilda with a gum leaf! I didn't even know the words when I found myself singing it in Nha Trang . . .

There's also the odd scrap of tinsel hanging off some trees. In honour of my mother I have decided to force Paul into a Christmas day lunch at Mick and Craig's - an awesome restaurant run by a couple of Australians (we think).

I would also like to take the opportunity to blow the whistle on Paul The Traitor (please refer to him as such from now on) who keeps ordering meaty dishes full of meat. I have sampled said meat to see if it i...
