The Yarra River is the main stream running through
Melbourne and is the subject of many jokes.
I remember wanting to cross over the Yarra
but the river was in flood. It was two kilometres wide
so I got on my horse, rode back to Northcote so I could
get a long run at it.
I raced at breakneck speed, dug in the spurs, and the
horse jumped.
Did I clear the river?
My oath I did. I made it easily and landed in Hobart.
