12.01.2022 TAKE A MOMENT | and enjoy reading about the great bull, Chainsaw, thanks to rodeo enthusiast, Brent Langley. To some young bucks he might be an older bloke gett...ing in the way behind the chutes at one of the local Rodeos. But go back more than 30 years and a young Dave Johnston had just pulled off one of the most remarkable rides in Australian rodeo history, a 90 point ride on the previously unridden bull Chainsaw.A ride that would put Davey Johnston into Rodeo folklore. Even Country singer Reg Poole would sing about that ride in a song he covered about the famous bull. You get these young boys (behind the chutes) who haven’t got a clue who he is and think what’s this idiot doing here sort of thing. And I can’t stand that. He doesn’t see it but I do. Said wife of 33 years Trish Johnston. Trish speaks passionately about her husband and perhaps even defensively because she has seen first hand the sacrifices he has made about a sport he has passionate about. Including a twist of fate that would almost cost Dave Johnston his life. In 1991, four years after that incredible ride on Chainsaw, a 34 year old Johnston was tossing up the possibility of retirement but fresh off a win at Mt Isa he thought he would toss his hat in the ring again this time at a Rodeo at Sale in Gippsland, Victoria.He drew a bull called Vibrator. And that last ride would change his life forever. Dave Johnston would spend that night clinging to life and the next two years trying to walk and talk again. The bull ripped me down and threw his head back at the time. His horn went into my mouth, knocked teeth out and up through the pallet (palatine bone). Dave said of the incident. The tip of the horn almost came back out through his forehead, They didn’t expect him to live. Said wife Trish. I was sitting in there (Sale hospital) with him and he had a big blood clot in his nose and his face was swollen. They (doctors) said if the blood clot loosens it will bleed out. That’s why they didn’t move him that night because they thought he was going to die that night but then they air lifted him to Melbourne the next morning. Said Trish. Dave was in a coma for over a month following life saving operations and in time showed signs of improvement. What would then follow would be two years of rehabilitation. Learning to walk and talk again. And getting to know his young family again. Not only did Dave have a young wife but also a five month old daughter, Tayla. He went back to being a baby. He didn’t know me. He thought his mum and dad were still alive and he used to talk about his little dog (from his childhood). He didn’t know us (family) at all but grew into it. Said Trish. Dave still struggles with short term memory loss but the back part of his brain remains in tac. Enough to remember that famous win at Tamworth back in 1987 where he would ride the unrideable, Australia’s greatest bucking bull Chainsaw. He was a good bull, been getting around for a little awhile, a lot of people had tried to ride him and no one had made a successful ride on him at a rodeo I use to watch him (Chainsaw) all the time because no one had rode him and (I) tried to work him out and then I found out I’d ride him at Tamworth which was pretty big rodeo, always pays good, gets a good crowd. Dave said. But what could Dave Johnston do different that so many others had failed? I sort of figured on a plan on what he’d do and hope he’d do it and lucky he did. I got him started and I thought this isn’t too tough, he’s not to bad and he sort of settled into a pattern which made it easier. Everything I did worked it was just lucky. More luck than good management. Johnston recounts humbly. But Chainsaw was like no other. Completely unpredictable where you didn’t know if he was going to spin or lunge forward out of the chute to kicking all four legs off to one side where he would almost go into a barrel role. And an athleticism way before his time. Perhaps like looking at some of the very best bulls of the PBR today. He could get up high. Flick his feet up higher than his backbone. Like a cat and still land on his feet. Johnston said. Nobody will dispute how good Chainsaw was with an unmatched 8 time Bucking Bull Of The Year Awards. They won’t dispute the showmanship of the bull and the way he ran around the arena fence after throwing a luckless rider to the ground, most say that was they he celebrated almost like a victory lap. But what does differ with people and the one’s that knew him best was his temperament. Some say he had a nasty streak and then some say he was gentle. Dave Johnston has his own view. He wasn’t a bad bull but he wouldn’t run around you like if you were in front of him and he was going that way he would go over the top of you. He wasn’t nasty. Like some bulls will go hunting for you. He wasn’t like that. Some of them (riders) would fear him. But that was only because of their ability. Johnston said. Johnston is now 63 years of age and still carries some of the trauma from the horrific injuries he sustained almost 30 years ago including poor vision which makes him carry a walking cane wherever he goes. But what remains is his witty sense of humor and positive attitude toward life. He loves talking to people and spending time with his grandchildren. So, if you’re a young rider coming through and you see Davey Johnston around the yards or behind the chutes don’t hesitate to have a chat. You might learn something and legends like that aren’t around forever. If you have a story about Chainsaw or have an old photo of him, please get in touch with Brent Langley - 0413 601268 or email [email protected] #australianprorodeoassociation

01.01.2022 Running the dogs before the storm hits RAIN IN THE CHANNEL COUNTRY To the swelling inland channels come the flighting ducks in multitude...s. With pelicans in fleets that sail like schooners down the sky, The black swans point their arrow heads towards the filling billabongs, And brolgas dance the breaking of the five year dry. Believe me there are multitudes of acrobatic parakeets To celebrate the seeding of the grasses and the shrubs, A screaming green &yellow mob that fossick in the tussock grass, Then shriek & wheel in terror of the hawk that hangs above Fat frogs are burrowing upwards from their time of sleep and burial, Silent under spiderwebs of cracked eroded mud Till each pool has its complement. Enthusiastic choristers are croaking psalms of glory for the Diamantina flood. WORDS: BILL SCOTT MUSIC:MARTIN OAKES
