Hi all,
Ted (Topcat) leant me a book written by Rhonda McDonald- "Gold in the Gascoyne."
Several times through the book there is reference to "Biggetta." The birds, the dingoes and the biggettas!
I have googled it but can not find any meaning?
My dear old Dad used to refer to "Bicketa" (Not sure of spelling) when he was referring to the big red kangaroo.

Can someone please throw some light on the meaning or the spelling of the word? BIGGETTA

Peter
