Damper is a traditional outback
breakfast, cooked directly on the coals or in a cast iron pot.
Here, Tony and Linda invite Neil and Sharon for breakfast, and
ask them where they stayed overnight. "Over by that rock,"
Neil replies. "Where?" they ask. Sharon jumps in to
clarify: "Over by that mountain," she says, pointing
to a pile of rocks in the near distance. Linda laughs. "Tony's
from Australia," she chortles, "and he calls them mountains.
I'm from New Zealand, and I call them hills. You're from Canada,
and you call them rocks!" |
