Need Austrailian help!

Ok, so sorry for posting this here, not a parenting question... unless saving the sanity of one earbugged mommy counts!

I heard this song on the radio, it goes:

"Six white boomers, Snow white boomers

Chasing Santa Claus thru the blazing sun

Six white boomers, Snow white boomers

On his Austrailian run..."

It's cute and catchy... just perfect to get stuck in my head... lol

Can someone please tell me what a boomer is??

And feel free to report this to get it deleted from here... just answer me first!

I think I"m going to try to down load it, my daughter really liked it when it came on, and well... it's still stuck in my head! LOL

In Australia, Christmas comes in the middle of a very hot summer.

Santa Claus needs animals who are used to hot weather, so he rides
with six white "old men" kangaroos called "Boomers"
so named from the booming sound they make as the speed over the
dry ground.

Generally they dont come in white  that are however a variety of browns and reds and there is an occassional albino type thrown out I have only seen one in my life and it was at a zoo, I have a photo somewhere because I was so fascinated.

I'm 99.9% sure they don't come in white! I would love if anyone can tell me otherwise!

I think it's just poetic licence, I have never seen a  white Kangaroo!!
