The incident occurred when a New South Welshman, having tricked his way into one of the allegedly pure Queensland teams, hurled a cricket ball viciously through the open mouth and back of the neck of a batting Queenslander. "What particularly annoyed me," he said after the incident was tlie way the fool yelled out: 'Queensland, yabl' every lime lie hit the ball." The Queenslander died soon after the incident, surrounded by a special display of koala bears, kangaroos, bananas, pineapples, Queensland nuts and other primary produce: this was hastily erected around the dying man at the request of the Gundoo authorities. "It's what he would have wanted," explained the Gundoo committee spokesman with ft bright smile. Owing to the widespread destruction of large areas of his mouth the dying Queens lander was not able to commeni on the incident. But, when given paper and pencil, lie wrote llint lie had one reaucst: to hear a choiiis of centenary marching girls t^^S'T^": '^•'- sing Clyde Collins's lovely top 40 song "The Sunshine State."
