The same two boys in this little series I'm running.
At Uluru- aka Ayer's Rock- I came upon these two who had been goofing around and knocked the handlebars out of whack. They couldn't straighten it, so I did.
What followed were a few minutes of them mugging for my camera- and then waves of goodbye.
Some encounters can be brief but memorable. And I remember this one quite clearly.
These photographs were taken about 31 years ago.

I can certainly see why these two are memorable.

Thanks Evan and Bob.
Of course, traveling in the Land of Oz for one month hardly qualifies me as an expert on Aussie society .
Shucks, I could barely speak the language .
Luckily, Aussies are about the friendliest people in the world.
Although the Aboriginal People have equal rights and such- there is a natural tendency for them to remain somewhat apart from the European immigrants that arrived a mere few hundred years ago. At least it looked that way out in the bush.
Consequently the only direct contact I had with Aborigines was with these two boys. But it sure was a pleasure to have bumped into them- in Uluru especially.

Giving this shot a bump in honor of Mr. Shugart's fine photographic legacy.
