When you're kidnapped and forced into paradise-
Somehow, the idea of winning a lottery starts to seem positively mundane.

Some more details from my Buchan megafauna mural.

When the pilot declares he's on a secret mission,
"better let him get on with it ... ... without US joining the lunacy!
is the sentiment of everyone else.

I’ve just completed a new megafauna mural in the beautiful town of Buchan in East Gippsland, Victoria on Gunaikurnai Land. Melbourne Museum will soon have fossil replicas and other interpretation displayed in the building’s windows.

Photo of a new megafauna mural in the beautiful town of Buchan in East Gippsland, Victoria on Gunaikurnai Land. Melbourne Museum will soon have fossil replicas and other interpretation displayed in the building’s windows.
The scene is set during Springtime in the Pleistocene, in Limestone Rocky Outcrop Shrubland, perhaps colder and dryer than the current climate.
The animals included have been chosen from significant fossil discoveries in the caves of the area and threatened living local species: Palorchestes azael†, Brush-tailed rock wallaby, Thylacoleo carnifex†, Platypus, Yellow-tailed black Cockatoo, Megalibgwilia owenii†, Southern emu wren, Simosthenurus occidentalis†, Superb-fairy wren.

"You have reached your destination."
Yay! They made it! (in one or more pieces).
It's amazing just how far one can go with boundless determination!

When the airplane's too fast for the sat nav to keep up, land it & pretend it's a couple of motorcycles. However, the traffic police don't take too kindly to being overtaken by an airplane on the road.

Their little aircraft is mighty fast, but the sat nav is even faster.
This is exactly the sort of situation where drivers start to get completely lost.

When you meet Homo sapiens creatures for the first time, it can be a little unsettling
(Absolutely GOBSMACKING, even).

As the intrepid aeronauts near their primary destination, the navigator gets introduced to a friendly human called 'Sat Nav' who seems to have hearing difficulties.

Just popped down to refuel and it's quickly back to the piloting lessons. Meanwhile, the navigator wants to know what bollocks are.
A flying instructor has many responsibilities.

"If humans are so numerous, how come we don't see them?"
These and other vital questions are answered in this adventure. (Oh, and we start to learn what 'snowing' is).

PALEOART? That's today's Secret Word! AAAHHHH

#paleoart #palaeoart #permian #peeweeherman #peeweesplayhouse #dimetrodon

"The Peeweehermian Period"
A cartoony work of paleoart depicting characters from the TV show "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" as Permian fauna (and one geological phenomenon) thusly:
Pee-Wee as some type of gorgonopsid; Randy as cotylorhynchus; Chairy as dimetrodon; the couple of talking fish as two competing reconstructions of helicoprion; puppet bandmates Dirty Dog, Cool Cat, and Chicky Baby as lystrosaurus, estemmenosuchus, and a meganisopteran respectively; Jambi as eryops; two members of The Dinosaur Family as euparkeria; and Globey as one of the infamous volcanoes of the time.

When training as a pilot, remember- landing is not as difficult as flying at a steady altitude- Planes have a natural tendency to go downwards!
We learn such truths daily in these adventures.

Refuelling done, so it's immediately back to the skies - No peace for the wicked. (No peace for the slightly wicked either).
There is, however, time to teach an unwilling passsenger how to fly though.

When you're explaining snow to someone who's seeing it for the first time-
Taking the piss with complete sincerety is an absolute MUST!

A stowaway proves his worth and is officially welcomed aboard as a documented member of the crew.
See- stowing away is a critical stepping stone towards becoming aircrew.
