Hello, it’s Wolfgang von Greenygrey again. Great news for the Greenygrey cause, because many celebrities have started dying their hair grey to support the Grey after it was sent to Australia by the Grand Council. Yes, celebrities like Kate Moss and Kelis have gone grey to support the Grey. If only the Grey knew, I’m sure it would brighten it up. It seems to be stuck in a bit of a rut at the moment in Latham, although it is resting up at the Hotel California after being led there by some eagles. Hopefully a bit of rest will sort it out.
More Australian Travelling Werewolf Blogs
Anyway, I have collected more of its blogs for your pleasure, as I know it is a long way to travel to Grey’s Australia blog.

Burning Rubber Roadrunner to Bunbury
It was a beautiful sunny morning and I felt like cruising down the highway with the wind in my hair. So I shapeshifted into a roadrunner and picked some speed up. However, this of course meant the wind was in my feathers, and I felt a bit of a turncoat against my old hero, Wile E. Coyote, for a while.
Nevertheless, it was a most enjoyable journey down the freeway, and I arrived in Bunbury in time for a bit of brunch. The name of the city made me bun hungry, and I looked for a bakery, after changing into a human; a roadrunner looking for food in the middle of a surprisingly large metropolis would look a little strange.
Buried Buns in the Bunbury Underground
However, a local called Rose Hotel told me that all the bakeries were underground on the edge of town, to keep the produce cool in the hot summers.
So I made my way out to the edge of town and lo and behold, found many underground bakeries with the most deliciously fresh and cool buns. The value of burying buns was clear to see and taste.
Dipping into the Dolphin Discovery Centre
I got talking to a dolphin called Dolly who swam up to the bakery (it had land, sea and air entrances) from Koombanna Bay. It said it was an idyllic spot, and invited me over after we’d finished bun munching.
So I shapeshifted into a dolphin after my last bit of bun fun, and had a wonderful evening swimming in the clear Koombanna waters with a hundred bottlenose dolphins.
Yes, it had been some day, fitting in roadrunning and dolphinswimming either side of biting through a baker’s dozen of Bunbury’s best buried buns.
As I lay on the ocean waves under a starry moonlit night in that twilight time between wakefulness and slumber I thought I heard a dog barking on the distant shore. It’s origins would soon become clear, and lead me on another amazing adventure.

So after a freshening swim I bade farewell to delightful Dolly and the dolphins and made my way to the golden shore.
Smell or Sound, Hot Cross Buns or Hound
My senses were thrown into chaos when I reached the shore just south of Bunbury.
From the northerly direction I was heading came the pungent smell of freshly made hot cross buns, but to the east I heard the lyrical libretto lullaby that sounded like it could be a lapdog and labrador rendition of Les Miserables.
This time my curiosity called the path, and I made a scramble to ramble despite my belly grumbling and a rumbling.
Hiking Australia: Walkie for Collie
I took my time as I headed across the South Western Highway, enjoying the endless sunshine that seemed to stretch across the outback.
I saw a tiger snake going in the opposite direction and it reminded me of Ernie the floor rider in Florida that Green and I made the acquaintance of back on our epic ramble.
There was no communication with the snake this time though, and the barking of dogs from over the eastern horizon was the only sound that pierced the 360 degree silence.
Then I saw a sign for Collie, and everything seemed to start making sense…or did it?

The town of Collie came into view through the hazy heat, and the sound of barking dogs grew louder. I thought I’d take the hint and shapeshift into a collie, and chose a border guise from a surprisingly large choice. Grey’s anatomy changed to black and white.
Famous Collies on the Edge of Town
As I reached Collie a shetland sheepdog carrying a lassie over his shoulder ran past me as if he was rushing to save somebody or something.
A border collie then flew over my head, which I thought was as unlikely as seeing pigs fly. Green and I did not try becoming a flying collie even when our unified powers were at their height .
Meeting the Collie Twins: Colin and Ollie
Then I reached the edge of Collie, and met a couple of dogs guarding the town entrance.
They asked who I might be, and I replied that I was a border collie, as it should be plain to see. And who may they be, I did respondee.
The one with a beard said they were Colin and Ollie McNab: respected and renowned around these parts as the Collie twins.
They said their good mother was an Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog collie, and their now dearly departed proud father was part McNab Shepherd collie and part Bearded collie.
I said it was my pleasure to make their acquaintance.
They apologised for putting me under scrutiny, but explained that Collie was a big bun-mining town, and supplied Bunbury with most of its buns.
The gift of a veritable bun goldmine was unfortunately a double-edged sword, with the buns like the centre of a folding mirror, as the bun bonanza also attracted desperados desperate to get their meddlesome mitts on the munchable minerals that are moulded into muffins.
Grey’s Anatomy Plot Exposed
So the Collie twins sniffed around my person with sensitive security. I was a little nervous, and this escalated into panic when Colin asked how long I had been a collie.
I didn’t want to lie to such fine upstanding collies so I explained my situation, and how I had shapeshifted into a collie when I had been drawn in this here direction by the dog barking and then saw that the town was called Collie.
How would the Collie twins take my shapeshifting story. Well, that is another tale good readers…or to be more precise, the end of this one that’ll have to wait until another day…
