mystery object
It is holding a Diving-Fox. It is doing so as it has
been chartered by the Diving-Fox Fanciers Association as the best means of
smuggling Diving-Foxes into Tasmania.
>From reports I have read in the media this service has been quite popular,
although since the detected canids have been rendered two dimensional by the
passage of a vehicle the authorities have rated them as simple Foxes rather
than the elegant Diving-Fox.
With regards to Stuarts picture I had assumed the Pelican
was holding a passenger from Heathrow who had chosen a Homing-Pelican's pouch
as the only way to get back to Australia
on the same flight as their tripod.
