Ten years ago I decided to take my beloved wife
and my little child to the Grampians in a place
called mckenny's Falls, who were spicing around at a little
pool's area, and my son lost his dummy. So last
weekend we actually went back to the same falls with
another son of mine to show on the area and
stuff like that. And lo and behold, we look walking
(04:32):
around and in the same swinging area, and I happen
to find my son's dummy.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
That is Oh my god. I love the story. I've
actually got goose bumps. That is incredible.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Yeah, it was a bit weather than ted. I was
very distinct because it was the Wiggles big red car dummy.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
So I bet you couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I could not believe it. Well, what are the odds?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
So the I just reminded me again how much time
had passed since losing it.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
H almost ten years my son Elles Son's k eleven
now and my youngest is in nine, so he was
about one and a half when you went there, so
about ten years right between. Rule sort of something in the.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Very long amount of time in some wa do you
think it we just moved on.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
It was a little bit further down where we sort
of were paid the first time many years ago. But
it was sort of a little up in the walking area.
So it must have been the fund night and was
in a little crevice and beside I see a faint
glimits of white and we read cast. I thought I
was missed. Inquisitive, got to check it out.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
