“Tourism and prospecting for diamonds, is booming in Western Australia and Saltbush and Witchetty’s Tribe have joined the tourist throng to see how Westralians live.  They call it the ‘State f Excitement’ over there and we found that term something of an understatement.
Witchetty’s Tribe is no stranger to W. A.   It originated over there, and the first drawings of the series decorated R.A.A.F. messes during the war, quite some time before they appeared in print.
Saltbush Bill and family wanted to see the mighty Ord Project, a captive expanse of water seven times the size of Sydney Harbor.”
