Main street in the outback Australia town of Williams Creek, doubled as a runway. In an area where ranches are the size of Great Britain, ranchers use airplanes and helicopters to check their herds. While Dutchy was quaffing a cool one in the pub, an air radio crackled to life, and a pilot's voice intoned, "Is there anyone up here?" When the reply was negative, he sang out, "I'm coming in." In a few minutes he landed, taxied up to the bar, and was soon imbibing a cold one of his own. Apparently herding from the air is mighty thirsty work!
