Blinky Bill and Nutsy by Dorothy Wall

All through the night Splodge, Mrs Koala, Blinky and Nutsy worked at top speed. The whole place was transformed. From a stout limb of the gum-tree dangled a rope, on the end of which Mrs Scratchet's basket swayed to and fro not far above the ground. At the foot of the tree, neatly arrayed in rows, lay the carrots, potatoes and cabbages, interspersed with watercress and gum-leaves. A large notice bravely planted in the heart of the largest cabbage bore the following words for all the bush folk to read: Mrs Koala feeds her guests on these things. Take good look. Have a good sniff (no tasting allowed). Then order your meals and beds from the manager.

P.S. Under no circs need snakes apply. Ants may apply for employment as garbage removers.
