Hello everyone I believe that there is an expression "somewhere out in the Donga" which indicates that the person is way out in the deeper parts of the bush, in a far away isolated place. I think that I heard this mainly in North Queensland, but its usage could be a bit wider.

Perhaps penguin muscles work effectively at low temperatures, allowing them to feed, and to escape predators at low energy cost. That's my 2 cents anyway Desmond Allen Japan e-mail: |
