Dougie "The
Pastor" Lardner
Doug was the first pastor of the Johnson's, and the inspiration behind many of our rituals. Fire walking, duck calls and many other theological traits made him a wonderful first year pastor. Dougie is firm believer in free choice and therefore a fierce opponent of AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). His belief is that every young man has the right to throw his life away on the piss and we should fight for his choice to do so.
Mark "The
Swallow" Green
A quiet introverted man, Mark is the publicity and recruitment officer of the Johnson's. Current enrollments indicate that we have no new members and therefore commend him on doing a shit job. Mark has been known to consume cartons of Lemon Ruskie's and Sub Zero's sometimes even stopping to unpack them. So never get between him and a potential meal. In a fit of rage one evening he went out and scarred himself for life, vowing to raise the ire of all bird lovers he tattooed the feared great swallow onto his right shoulder. A constant reminder to him that at 14 years of age his choice of the feared swallow for a tattoo would be a life long burden and a constant source of merriment for all.
Marco "Adonis" D'angelo
Marco was a shy, unconsuming type of person, who seemed to bloom into a man after becoming a Johnson. A lost soul with little to live for his life has now turned around. Having achieved his target of being the gayest duck shooter in history he has now set his sights on combining the Gay Mardi Gra and the opening of duck season into one event. He will truly be in heaven not knowing whether he Coming or Going. Marco has been banned form bringing mirrors to any official Johnson's event as we never get him away form them and it is nearly impossible to remove the stains afterwards.
Rob "Inspector Gadget"
Zanco
Rob is the quartermaster of the Johnson's, having more gadgets and thingamajigs that any other person on earth. Having to sleep with Marco each night has made Rob a very light sleeper and therefore is always the first out of bed and rearing to go. Rob was the president for 2005 and is the keeper of the holy chant "Translator" Each year all the members marvel at the new technology that Rob brings along to camp, planes, cars, phones, dvd's but always to the saying "Its my sons I'm minding it for him !"
Carlo "Tree Trunk"
Carlo is a quiet man built like the perverbial tree trunk. Round the camp fire he sits and listens intensely, never adding much to the conversation. Many in the clan believe he has mastered the art of sleeping with his eyes open thus providing the illusion he is interested in the conversation but is actually of in La La Land. More evidence came to light surrounding this theory this year, when he mysteriously stood up from his chair and fell flat on his face. He claimed his feet were tangled in the chair, but the conspiracy theorists believe he was trying to master the act of sleeping walking to add to his ability to sleep listen.
Clan Elders
Don "The Don" Andrews
A true man of the bush, Don was raised by the woodja woodja tribe of aboriginals. He dutifully claims Land Rights on all areas that the Johnsons congregate at. A quiet man he is also known for his respectfull buff orphington chook dance around the camp fire on special occasions like the selection of a new president

Travis "The Kid"
Travis, has achieved institution status at the Johnson's. His first act of defiance was to bring a female into the holiest of circles "Duck Opening". He then proceeded to consume copius amounts of alchohol to bring about the harmonious state of stupor that is Travis. Having achieved the state of stupor om many occasions he has been know to utter the holy words,
"I glad I'm not standing at the back cause I'm batting from the paddington end" to which we all chant the holy reply "Translator"
His achiements at this years annual meeting at Coleman have raised his prospects to the point that he has been nominated as "Pastor" for the Year 1999. His drinking was outstanding, coupled with having to be thrown into bed on more than one occassion would normally be enough, but his story of compassion and caring for his former girlfriend and her girlfriend on one eving in particluar, secured his nomination form all his brothers.
Silvio "Koala Bear"
Having the demenour and the facial expressions of Australia's favourite bear (apart from Humphrey) has earned Silvio the nick name "Koala Bear" or "K Bear" for short ( Although we were assurde by all that he is anything but short). Silvio spends his days building retirement villages which is appropriate as he looks like he is constantly ready for retirement. His other passion of eating gum leaves and nuts (no he can't reach those) has him in a perpetual state of non conciousness. Silvio is also a closet animal liberationist having refused to kill a duck for the last two seasons and is now on notice that at the next annual meeting of the Johnson's he must either shoot a duck or perform the ancient tribal "wiggly" dance.
Cade "King Cade"
to be completed
Saeed "Scud"
Nothing much is said to Saeed, mainly due to fact that he sleeps with a mobile rocket launcher and a few grenades. The opposite though is very true, Saeed has a lot to say, mainly when we are in the swamp, his incessant chatter can be heard all over. Many of the hunters use his voice as a marker for a direction to camp.
Jimmy "The Translator"
Jimmy the Irishman is always ready with a joke or connundrum. If only we could understand what the hell he was saying the jokes would be much funnier.
Marcello "Marchie"
to be completed
Daryl "Shuffler" Unfortunatley
we dont have enough room to list all the attributes of Daryl. Suffice to say most of his
vices are centred around the fascination of Shit. An ancient warrior once prophesised
"Keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer", hence the clan decided
in its wisdom to elect Daryl the president for 2004 working on the theory that its better
that we now where he is than where he might be. If this sound confusing, spends a night
round the campfire with Daryl and it all becomes clear.
Carmello "Caramello Bear"
A new member for 2004, not even information to list YET !
Slubber "Mr Lubber Lubber"
A new member for 2004, not even information to list YET ! ( Yes that is him in the photo, and it hasn't been retouched, scary heh?)
Brad "The Invisible Man"
Another new member for 2004, once again no a lot is known about Brad and he was a hard man to get to know. Constantly wearing his "Camo" gear made it almost impossible to find him. Round the camp fire you could hear his voice but needed infra red goggles to spot him.

Vido "The Butcher"
Not a lot is known about Vido yet other than he was a butcher and loves his food and hunting He can shoot pretty good too. More to Come
Jannan "The Muslim"
Once again not a lot is known about Jannan other than he was a Bottlo, a Truckie, a Bouncer, a Builder and spent time training in afgahanistan for the jihad. A stocky man who bears the scars of war, a stilletto scar on his head shows how tough the life of a muslim on the streets of Australia can be. His theories on pubic hair kept the clan keenly interested all night along with his ability to find friends that never seem to be the full dollars worth. More to Come
