The Sound of Music Revisited (kinda rude post)

sound of music plus outhouseImagine the Sound of Music had been set in Australia, on the slopes of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales, instead of Austria’s Alps.

Looking over the barren moonscape of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest mountain, Julie Andrews holds her nose, and tries to sing:

The hills are alive, with the waft of urine.
With a stench that has stunk for a hundred years.
The hills fill my nose, with the waft of urine,
My heart wants to weep, every time I smell!

Yes, a pee joke, but I read the quote in the story below, and just couldn’t help myself.

“It’s been pretty obvious on the main walks from Thredbo and Charlotte Pass that people need to go,” national parks area manager Andrew Harrigan said.

“They were ducking behind the rocks in various places and on a still day on the rocks on top of Mount Kosciuszko itself you might get the waft of urine.”

Bonus humour: imagine Julie Andrews singing the above with an Aussie accent.
