Buying back the farm...

[rogespeed]

An auspicious Australian family concern has bought back some of the national farm literally with the purchase of 2 large cattle stations with cattle for AU$53 million , with the previous owner nought to complain , realising a tidy capital gain of AU$1 million per annum

That last time I observed such an event was when Bega Cheese returned Vegamite to Australia

Maybe more than a dunk, perhaps a hammer according to google ......

Yo-Yo biscuits were just one of the popular products made by Menz. Another classic was the Bush Biscuit, apparently a version of the hard-tack ship biscuits that were more famous for their keeping qualities than their appetite appeal. These hard biscuits were also a South Australian phenomenon, perhaps because Adelaide was a favoured jumping-off point for inland expeditions. Bush biscuits could be eaten plain or with butter and, in later years, Vegemite. Sadly, unlike the Yo-Yo, they have disappeared.
