The wife reckons you can tell someone’s age by mentioning Kimba.
The conversation goes like this:
Them: Where are you from?
Her: Kimba.
(If they were born before 1960, the conversation goes as such. “Oh,
I know Kimba, I went to school with such and such who came from
there. Are they still there? How are they? Weren’t they in an
accident of some sort?”)
If they were born after 1970, the conversation goes as
such.
Them: Kimba?
Her: Yeah, as in Kimba the White Lion.
Them; (“you’re nuts” look in their eyes) “Kimba the whaaaat?”
(slowly backing away.)
But……
If they are children of the sixties, then they get a wistful look
in their eye as the words “Who lives down in deepest darkest
Africa” drift through the cobwebs. They start humming a tune in
their head as visions of the little white lion cub with big
Japanese anime eyes takes those huge leaps across the savannah.
Personally, I think she’s talking rubbish. But maybe that’s
because when I was a kid we didn’t have TV. We were too poor to
have TV. I had to walk 5 miles to school every day. And then 5
miles home again. Uphill. Both ways. In bare feet painted black to
look like shoes. Through rain, mud and hail. Even during the
drought. Determined look in the eyes. Those were the days.
The township of Kimba was not, however, named after a Japanese
Anime cartoon of the 60’s and 70’s. It means Bush Fire in the local
aboriginal language. Kimba is also geographically halfway across
Australia. More recently, it has become the eastern gateway to the
Gawler Ranges, passing through several sheep stations on the
way.
The cache is a NANO cache so bring your own scribbling utensil
and please ensure that you roll up the log scroll tightly before
returning it to the canister, so you can get it out again.. The
only other one I have seen like this one is at "CARAVAN" in
Whyalla.
