frindley commented on the word junjarins
Junjarins were pixies in the Australian Brownie Guide mythology and this was a common name for Sixes. "Junjarins are good spirits and are the hardest working spirits in the bush. They make sure that the sick and helpless creatures have food, water and shelter. Their favourite job is to watch over the trees and flowers in the bush. They love helping the wildflower to open their petals and baby ferns to uncurl their light little fronds. Their grins are so bright, they are often taken for the rising sun." (The Australian Brownie Guide Handbook, 1975)

I was a junjarin, for about 2 months. Then the system changed and I became a kookaburra.
