baronessekatFor those who were there and want the words and those who were not there and have heard the rumors.
I bring you:
(Here's the transcript they sent me. A=Aussie T=Translation)
A G’Day
T We bid you Greetings
A Speccy corroborree your guv'ner and she-maj
T We are honoured to be called before your majesties in your most Royal Court
A We came from our walkabout to give ya's a heads up on some bute sheila called ekat
T We have been summoned from the far reaches of Lochac to provide valuable information to you, upon the Elevation of this most wondrous or jour subjects, Baroness Ekaterina.
A She's a good sort and a smart sheila to boot, not at all stuck up
T Let us first say that we have found her to be good character with a stunning intellect and yet, well grounded in the core values that are the SCA
A From the back a tha barkoo to the gidgigannup they sprook about her name
T From the distant desert sands or Lochac to the banks of Lochac’s greatest Rivers her name is known to us.
A We first bumped into this jillaroo a few pennsic's ago
T We first came across this most gracious Lady many years ago in your great Kingdom in what is known as the Pennsic War.
A She was working for the wallopers
T She was undertaking strenuous duties on the desk at Pennsic Security, as it was known then.
A It was about half past dark and she looked as dry as a dead dingo's donger
T It was 30 minutes past the hour of darkness when we first sighted this Lady. She looked exhausted and in need of water. Her face was covered in sweat and her skin was dry and parched.
A Mate, she doesnt know when to quit and she keeps up with the jackaroo's
T We ask her to take leave of her duties and rest in the cool shade of a nearby tree, yet she declined saying it was her duty to maintain her vigilance at her post so that other might enjoy their time at Pennsic.
A Some days she looks like they'd just dipped her, but she keeps working
T Several days passed and every time we sighted her, she was covered in sweat and working hard at her duties.
A She's a smashing sort who you'd rip your bloody arm off to be next to at the next b&s ball
T Dispite all this she still held her bearing as a Lady in your Kingdom and I heard many a young fighter comment that he would seek her out and fill her dance card at any social occasion in your court as a matter of urgency.
A So you's all better make sure you keep her on a tight leash or we'll come back and nik her from you
T With such a dedicated service orientated person in your Kingdom, such as Baroness Ekatarina, I, with respect caution you your majesties not to let her stay at night, lest she is stolen to serve another Kingdom, for she is a treasure to be preserved and protected.
A So just remember, she's a dinki-di sheila who can chunder with the best of the blokes
T In closing your Majesties let me say that we find Baroness Ekaterina a true Lady and a peer in our eyes. We also add that she is a working peer and one that is not afraid to get her hands dirty doing any task the crown or society set for her.
A Mate, I reckon she fits in with us lot just spot on, from us down to earth types, right up to yous hoi-polloi
T She has a unique quality allowing her to engage in conversations with the newest member of your Kingdom, whilst being as equally comfortable conversing with the Crowns of all Kingdoms.
A On that note, we's are about done. its beer-o-oclock and its ekat's shout! cheers!
T So finally let us say on behalf of the Order of the Pelican and ourselves, she is our Peer and very deserving of elevation to this order. It is now time for us to beg your leave as we have tavern duties to attend to at Our Kingdom as part of our ongoing service to our Crown and not at all to do with the fact that we like the amber fluid. We also wish it known that Baroness Ekaterina is also rostered for duty after the completion of your business with her in this court.

If the speaker was a woman...well, with the Aussies, it is quite possibly the same translation :-D
