AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION NEWSLETTER #55
FINDING WATER IN AUSTRALIA
If you're considering emigrating to Australia, there's a very
good chance you're an out-of-work survivalist looking for a more
deserted desert (Australia has some very good deserts) in which
to practice your surviving. If so, you'll be interested in the
following authentic aborigine method for collecting water
if you're out surviving in the Australian desert. First, dig a
hole about three feet by three feet by two feet deep and put
a billy in the bottom. Next, cut as many green plants as you
can find and stack them all around inside the hole; stretch
a plastic sheet over it, anchored at the edges, and place a small
rock on the sheet directly over the billy. Finally, wait six
hours and you will find that about a liter of water has condensed
on the sheet and dripped down to collect in the billy. If this
seems like too much trouble, you might instead look up the nearest
authentic aborigine and see if he'll share his Toohey's beer with
you; with luck he'll look up his bush pilot uncle and fly you all
to Sydney for a night's entertainment in the Topless Nightclubs...
