Just had a very interesting call from a long-time friend who runs a Grazing Property some 180 kilometres N.E. of where I live.
His wife and himself have employed for over 3 years 2 young women as Station hands (colloquially known as Jillaroos) around the property.
Yesterday afternoon while the 2 young women were out checking the Boundary fences, one of them was attacked by a man who stopped her to ask for directions.
He attempted to rape her but the young woman fought back with the only thing she could find close to a hand, her snake wire ( a length of doubled over barbed wire about 8' feet in length attached to a hard wood handle).
According to the report and the 'bits' of evidence found on her 'snake wire', Ginge, as is her nick-name, drove off her would-be rapist with consummate 'skill' and dexterity, leaving the rapist with probable tearing to the face, the upper arms, legs, body and some very painful damages to his genitals.
Police in the area are now searching for a blue older model Toyota vehicle being driven by a man in his early 20's who will definitely be looking for in need of medical attention.
Ginge is relatively okay, though still a bit shaken, and rightly so imo, bit intends to return to her job tomorrow.
Personally speaking here, I hope the Scumbag would-be rapist crawls away, hides in some remote hidden place, gets massive infections as well as Tetanus and dies slowly and painfully, and Ginge gets awarded a Medal for ridding the world of another piece of stinking, rotten garbage.
