Dirranbandi plonking 27Australians and a shearer came to bash Bronco Don in 1945 He was just back from Kokoda killing Japs to stay alive Some carried beer bottles and others 2 handed sticks I was in hospital being born while Don he got his kicks It was enough to put a bull camel off his dinner camp And the richosheying bullets hummed and wizzed and danced Down the high stairs he came laughing with old threoh shooting quick 10 shots amongst the bashers the goona it was thick (faeces) Much screaming as they left the yard running up the gravel road Reloading he bounced bullets between a shearer and the toad. The locals thought he celebrated the birth of a son Others thought the war was almost being won But in the pub the gravel rash was checked for bullet holes And the boys sucked and drank old fourex got a priest to save their souls. Don Johnson 2.45 am 14-march-2011 Don Johnson enjoyed fisticuffs And In the forties The Goodooga footballers came to Dirran for a boxing match, Old Jack McKay would poke em into line with a billiard cue while Bronco Don and Bushman Hoath fought em one at a time. The day of the shooting with the shearer Don had knocked out 6 men and piled the up in a heap. The copper said “what are you doing with them”. “I’ll burn them” said Don “Too green to burn said the copper”reinforcements and revenge that night, perhaps? Don Johnson
