Just to add further clarification, the jumbucks were stalked by the jumbuck shaggers, or swaggies, who waltzed their blanket drums (swags) all over the place, often followed closely by troopers, one, two, three.ME 109 wrote:

Hope that clears things up.

Thanks, That clears things up a bit.ME 109 wrote:A billabong.Jeff in W.C. wrote: Don't give up yet! I don't know what a billabong is.
Right.
There are billabongs near where I live.
Billabongs are crucial habitat for many animals and reptiles.
A billabong is essentially an old rivercourse that is no longer connected to the nearby river.
Billabongs are associated predominantly with rivers in flat country. Australia's Murray river is one such river that has an elevation of 60-70 metres above sea level, more than 1000 k's away from the sea.
This causes the rivers to meander over a wide area, over hundreds/thousands of years.
The resulting depressions that are left due to the river no longer flowing there, become rich habitat for flora and fauna.
The billabongs are usually refreshed when flooding occurs in a certain area.
The billabong's fragile habitats have been seriously threatened tho' by the introduction of jumbucks a couple hundred years ago.
Hope that clears things up.
