(summary execution if caught by Mum). As we grew up new party games were invented centered around the Hills hoist like goon of fortune (like wheel of fortune). A goon is the wine bladder out of one of those chateau de cardboard wine boxes. Tie one to a clothes line and then the participants form a circle around the line. Spin the clothes line and if the goon bag stops at you, you have to skull. Kinda like spin the bottle with a Hills hoist.
My hometown is the birthplace of the Hills Hoist and I would pass the Hills factory every day as I went to and from school.
You explained "goon" but what the heck is "skull"?
Arcane Australian lingo...
