A Trip

My name is Rogue and this is my story. Many years ago I took a bus trip through Australia. I was on vacation. I was twenty-two years old when i went there. I chose Australia because, since i was fourteen, i always wanted to go to Australia, and it was my favourite country, after all, i had my camera hung around my neck all the way. So that, i could easily take pictures.

When i looked out the window, the view was always the same. The same colors, faded brown of the incessant dust. The situation was so desolate, monotonous and dry. Not to mention, it was a very hot day with a beautiful endless blue sky. Instead of looking at the surroundings, i listened to music until we arrives at a village.

I got out of the bus and started to take pictures. I took pictures of houses, the villagers, and kids chasing each other. I didn't like the clothes that they wore, looking at it, it felt very sad because they wore clothes like gown with sad colors for women and girls, and the old men wore very short pants like panties and breeches for men and boys.

But, they were kind and friendly. Also, they did not speak English nor understand it. It was difficult for me to communicate with them. So, i decided to remain silent and smiling whenever and whatever they were talking about because i didn't know what were they talking about and they wouldn't be able to understand what i was saying.

Then, i heard noises, first it was not clear, then it became strong, clear and near. When i looked behind, there were many cows, handled by the drover. A very attractive, hot and sexy drover that i'd never seen. But, i controlled myself not to show him that i was attracted to him. Suddenly, he got down from his horse, walked towards me and said, "Welcome to Australia..".

When he said that, my heart skipped a beat and i could feel the warmth inside my body. It felt like i was floating in the air. I was in the middle of a dream, smiling like a fool. Suddenly, there was a voice, a kid's voice saying, "Miss, Miss". Then, i woke up and opened my eyes, i saw a little boy standing in front of me. I looked front, and saw that the drover had left and i felt so weak and sad watching him go without asking what his name was.

The kid pulled me and we went to a place called 'Far Far Dawn' (Not sure why they called it that). There was a big hoyse near a big tree. It was the most beautiful house i'd ever seen. So, i took a picture of it. Then, the boy said, "Miss, meet my father", while pulling his father's sleeve. The man turned around and lifted the boy. I was suprised that his father was the drover that i was attracted to. I turned back, my face blushed and the warmth came back.

The end
