Date: 2014-09-28 10:23 am (UTC)And these weird little rhymes about these vaguely appropriative pseudo-aboriginal fairy-ish characters that were the different groups... our was something like "We're Tintookies // What we do // Is try to make // Your wish come true"
The internet tells me: "Tintookies are ground-dwelling spirits. They are extremely inquisitive, but their special interest is helping to make wishes come true when deserved. Nobody has ever seen a Tintookie, as they do their good deeds by stealth." (The Australian Brownie Guide Handbook, 1975)"
And here's the whole horrible poem.
