We don't need no bloody reindeer!

On a recent phone call with my sarcastic brother, he started making jokes about how poorly equipped reindeers were to pull Santa’s sleigh in the Australian desert. I had the pleasure of informing him that when Santa arrived in Australia, he lands in Tasmania and swaps the reindeer for 6 big white kangaroos. Know as boomers because of the noise they make as they hop.

In case you doubt me, check out Santa in our local shopping center.


There’s even an Aussie Christmas carol about the boomers. Click on the image to hear Rolf Harris’s rendition of Six White Boomers.
