Product Description

The highly unlikely but quite possibly true story of … Pilliga Pete and Clarrie the Cocky. A tall story set in the Great Australian Outback.

After being tricked by the devious Captain Blather into riding boundary on Blather’s sheep station, Pilliga Pete was at a loss. That is, until he met a very cunning and talkative white cockatoo named Clarrie. After the normal pleasantries of a first meeting, Pete told Clarrie of his predicament. Between them Pete and Clarrie worked out a means to resolve the situation. An elaborate plan that ended with a result that nobody could have ever possibly foreseen.

Family entertainment written, narrated and sung by John Waters, Australia’s favourite and highly respected actor – who also drew all the pictures in the twelve page booklet. This delightful and very amusing story is available for the first time on CD with lots of music and songs.

Produced by Martin Erdman with lots of music, songs and sound FX, young and old alike will enjoy this tall story set in the Great Australian Outback. Together with John’s highly descriptive narrative and the enclosed 12 page booklet containing pen drawings by John, who needs video? – let your mind paint the pictures.
