Kwinana tradie’s sleepless weekend lifestyle finally pays off as he catches the Aurora Australis this morning 

Everyone is always telling Kwinana-based concreter Bretto to get some rest over the weekend but who’s laughing now?

As per tradition, Bretto’s weekend starts at around midday on Friday and a few drinks at tools down turns into a raging battle – Bretto v melatonin and Bretto always wins thanks to the sweetest of puffs. 

This morning while rambling on about being able to wrestle a crocodile in Broome and cash being king, Bretto looked up and saw something truly special. He told The Times,

“Farken yewwww, I thought maybe I’d hit it too hard again and me eyes were farked but turns out it was the brightest lights in the south, thought that was my Bic to be honest ha ha yeah nah, fark yeah, even took a photo ay”

Bretto then produced perhaps one of the worst photos ever taken of the spectacular light show but all that mattered was he got to experience it. 

Now it could be argued all his partying ways have got him is a kid he doesn’t see, many thousands of dollars in traffic infringements and untold tripes to the ED for sending it related injuries. However, surely a bad photo and good experience balances that all out right?

We spoke to Bretto’s housemate who said he was always telling Bretto that he’s too old to be partying like a Kwinny grommet but conceded he had egg on his face this time. He added,

“Well if Bretto was such a lunatic on the weekends he wouldn’t have been up so early to see it. I missed it because I stick to a few pints after work. Maybe there is something in his lifestyle? I don’t think so based on all the debt he’s got himself into through sending it but ya know, it’s not all bad”

Bretto has since vowed to never sleep again on a weekend after feeling the warming glow of being part of a truly special natural phenomenon. 

Good luck Bretto, get some rest would ya. 

Documenting the Human Zoo is thirsty work, so if you enjoyed what you read how about buying Belle a beer, ay?
