"Deadly, unna?" He was always saying that. All the Nungas did, but Dumby more than any of them.
Dumby Red and Blacky don t have a lot in common. Dumby s the star of the footy team, he s got a killer smile and the knack with girls, and he s a Nunga. Blacky s a gutless wonder, needs braces, never knows what to say, and he s white. But they re friends and it could be deadly, unna?
