The year was 1952 and I had secured my first teaching job. It was in a remote country town, a three hour\u2019s journey from Fremantle, the town where I grew up. The north eastern wheatbelt was dry and possessed a harsh beauty that took some getting used to. All in all, it was quite a big adjustment for a city girl. But I was young and prepared for new adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among those adventures, of course, was the prospect of romance. Like many another young teacher or nurse doing country service, I was a potential catch. &nbsp;There may have been many prospects, but it was a gentle, shy young man who caught my eye and we started going steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One night, after we had been together for six months, he mentioned, \u2018There\u2019s a dance on next Saturday. How about it?\u2019 he asked. This was courtship in the classic laconic Aussie tradition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018Why, that would be nice,\u2019 I replied accepting his invitation as if it was the only answer to give. \u2018Where will it be? Here?\u2019 I said, answering my own question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018No, down the road, you know where the hotel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018Oh yes, I know. What time?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018Better make it 7:30. It\u2019s harvest time you know. I won\u2019t come in from the paddock until late.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018That\u2019s fine by me,\u2019 I agreed, as we walked to the car beneath a big orange ball, suspended above the horizon; the harvest moon; so romantic, so unreal. Sitting next to this man who was a stranger to me not so many months before. I still hardly knew him and yet at the same time it was as if I had known him forever. \u2018How can you go to a dance after working on the tractor all day?\u2019 I wanted to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He answered with a chuckle, \u2018Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019II be right . . .\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And right on time he called for me at the home in town where I was boarding. I thought he looked very handsome. Country dances are a whole lot of fun and a great outing for a courting couple. The evening flew by and was over too soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re here already,\u2019 he said as he pulled up at my gate. We walked slowly arm in arm up the path. I felt sad that the weekend was ending much too quickly. Although I really didn\u2019t want him to leave, I had to be firm. \u2018I must go,\u2019 I said reluctantly. (I was thinking of the morning with the class preparation that was to be done), so with a light kiss and heavy determination I said goodnight.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not too many months later the \u201cbig moment\u201d came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This day, as we had done so often before, we went out driving in in his father\u2019s gleaming new Austin. When we pulled up in the far paddock of his parent\u2019s farm we sat close to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was then the young lover turned and asked for my hand in marriage in true Aussie style.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Let\u2019s get hitched?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I looked out at what was a typical wheatbelt scene \u2014 small sand dunes scattered along the perimeter, bordered by the leafy Mallees, where rabbits bounded through the scrub. All of this strange new world would be my home if I said \u201c<em>yes\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Look!\u2019 he suddenly whispered, drawing my attention to a stately kangaroo, as it jumped out from behind the Mallees, drew itself up to its full height, cautiously scanned the horizon, before slowly hopping towards us. Hardly breathing we watched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018I haven\u2019t seen anything like this,\u2019 he continued in astonishment as the roo moved slowly forward.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018Will it reach the car?\u2019 I inquired also in a whisper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018Sshhh . . .\u2019 he cautioned, but it was too late. Suddenly aware that we were there, our surprise visitor turned, disappearing in a cloud of dust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018Oh no!\u2019 I slumped back allowing the silence to surround and separate us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Slowly my companion turned towards me again and taking hold of both my hands in his, said, \u2018Don\u2019t let this spoil our special moment.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018You\u2019re right,\u2019 I ruefully replied, pausing to add, \u2018I\u2019ll remember this day, though; the day my boyfriend let a kangaroo take preference over me and my marriage proposal.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018Well, are you going to?\u2019 he persisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018Going to what?\u2019 I countered, pretending ignorance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018Get married of course.\u2019 By this time, he\u2019d started the car and his attention was now on the road, steering through loose sand until he pulled up in the paddock where Molly, Rose and Daisy grazed contentedly.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I smiled, putting my arm around him, \u2018On one condition.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2018What\u2019s that?\u2019&nbsp; he wanted to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u2018I don\u2019t have to milk the cows!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>This true story by Marjorie Counsel was the winner in our recent writing competition with the theme \"The Moment My Life Changed\".
