What is a Thylacine?

It is not a tiger!

It is not a dog!

It is not a pig!

It is not a cheetah!

A Thylacine looks like this.  This is a photo from the Australian Museum.

A Thylacine can also be seen on rock art in the Pilbara.  This is one of the Thylacine engravings at the Burrup near Karratha.   (Image: Ken Mulvaney)

You may have read my other story about Cutie Pie, the 

Thylacine.  

She ate hot dogs and a lot of them.  

Well, I didn’t tell you what the hot dogs were made of and 

what she has with her hotdogs.   

You may feel sick after reading this so don’t say I didn’t warn 

you.

Where Cutie Pie lives has heaps of Bush Tucker.  

My sister, Dakoda, my brother Kohbi and I make a special mixture, with my mum to make the special hot dog.  

And, because Cutie Pie is like me, she doesn’t really eat a lot of meat, her hotdog isn’t made with kangaroo or crocodile or dugong.

Most of the ingredients we use are from the land of the Pilbara – the Kariyarra and Ngarluma Country. 

We have written out the recipe.  It includes my Dad, Andy’s, secret herbs, and spices that he mixes straight from the land on Country. 

This means that unless you have your own Thylacine, I cannot let you know my Dad’s mixture
