Australia is a land that celebrates its ratbags and cranks. Even erects statues to them. Like the dog that left a turd in a teamster's lunchbox. He's famous in Australia. The Prime Minister unveiled his statue.
His boss was a bullock team driver who got his team bogged just outside the town of Gundagai, about 200 miles south west of Sydney.

The 'Dog on the Tuckerbox' entered Australian folklore through an anonymous song. No one knows when it was first sung. A version of the song appeared in the Gundagai Times in the 1880s in the form of a poem called 'Bullocky Bill' which focuses on a teamster who gets bogged at Five Mile Creek (a teamsters' meeting place five miles from Gundagai). The yoke of his bullock team breaks and - the last straw - 'the dog shat on the tucker-box/ Five miles from Gundagai'. A respectable version of the song was written in the 1920s in which the dog sits on and guards the tuckerbox...

The real, 'street' version of the song was dispaced by the "nice" version. So I restored it:

Five Miles From Gundagai

I'm used to punching bullock teams across the hills and plains
I've teamed outback these forty years in blazing droughts and rains
I've lived a heap of troubles down without a blooming lie
But I cant forget what happened to me five miles from Gundagai

Twas getting dark the team got bogged the axel snapped in two
I lost my matches and my pipe ah what was I to do
The rain came on twas bitter cold and hungry too was I
And the dog shat in the tucker box five miles from Gundagai

Some blokes I know have stacks of luck no matter how they fall
But there was I lord luvva duck no blessed luck at all
I couldn't make a pot of tea nor get my trousers dry
And the dog shat in the tucker box five miles from Gundagai

I can forgive the blinking team I can forgive the rain
I can forgive the dark and cold and go through it again
I can forgive my rotten luck but hang me till I die
I cant forgive that blooming dog five miles from Gundagai
