A Little Girl with Red Hair A rich and meaningful encounter with a young indigenous girl provides joy to a couple of old locals. BILL and Gordon sat on a bench in the shade of the trees and listened to the magpies whisper-carol to each other as they wove between the feet of afternoon shoppers in Bairnsdale. Nothing was spoken between the men: they simply sat and absorbed the magpie-atmosphere - each interpreting the song in his own way.
