Raining Dugong

We are in Broome for a couple of days to shop for the Interpreters conference. It was raining dugong here yesterday. The kids came running into the house excitedly saying they had seen a hawk drop a chunk of dugong on the driveway. I found this a little hard to believe, but they dragged me outside and there was a big square chunk of dugong blubber, about 4 inche square, with silver skin still attached. Some kids up the street had been cutting up a dugong. The hawk had come and snatched a piece that was too big for it to hold onto.


Now that's not something you see everyday.
