: " 'Lord, I seen things in. Moonagoona.;' said Bindle reminiscently, • 'that 'ud make yer 'air stand on end. There's the Moonagoona linnet, big'asan eagle, and yon 'aye to plug yer ears when it sings. Then there's the''Moonagoona beetle, wot'll swallow a lamb 'ole, and' then sit up an' beg for the mintsauce. " '.We got eels' that big that' yer wouldn't believe it. We once caught a eel at Moonagoona, and it pulled and pulled so, that 'fore long we'd got the 'ole bloomin' population on the end o' the rope We 'auled in miles of it, presently we see coriiin' along the river a. crowd o' people ;, they .was 'the in'abitantsof Gumbacooo, the next town. Tliey'd caught the other end o' the eel, wot 'ad two 'cads, an' we was a-'aulin' of .'em as well as Mister Eel. Moouagoona's the place to see things.'"— i From "Bindln." by Herbert Jenkins
