Why did the chicken, goat, cow, dog and pig cross the road ?



Recently we went to Balibo for a weekend. Balibo is close to the boarder of Timor and Indonesia and it is famous because when Indonesia invaded Timor there were some Australian journalists who were at Balibo getting information about the Indonesians and they were killed by the Indonesian army in a matter of blood and gore.

You can visit the house that they were living in and you can see the Australian flag that they painted on the wall of the house to protect them. They thought that the Indonesians would not want to hurt Australians.



It was a long drive to Balibo and these are some of the animals that we found on the road. Driving in Timor is chaotic, you have to dodge kids, animals, guys with carts selling stuff, motorbikes and microlets. Here are some of the animals we found on the highway to Balibo
The chicken, known in Timor as Manu
The cow, known in Timor as the Karow



The Goat , also known as Bibi...a big Bibi is a Bibi Bot and a baby Bibi is a Bibi Kiik


The Asu (Dog) and the Fahi (Pig)


We have not seen any Crocodiles (lafaek) cross the road yet, but we are watching carefully!

Thankyou for following my blog, I love your comments, they are really cool. I miss you guys so much

See ya ! Felix

    Hi Felix,

    Great blog post! I really like seeing the photos of the local animal population. It must have been interesting to visit the house in Balibo? I saw the movie and it was a very interesting story - those journalists were brave!

    We just got three chickens. Ask your dad to look at our Facebook cage - the chicken coop we built is pretty cool.

    Take care and I look forward to your next post.

    Amanda, Chris and Noa from Melbourne.
