National symbols

January 29, 2017 at 4:46 pm

So I was struck with a weird thought the other day.

Looking around here in Kiwiland I noted that the national symbol is the Kiwi.

Now this is the country that was once home to a Haast eagle, one of the largest eagles ever identified, which would make a great national symbol. Instead they chose a rather plain, ugly, flightless bird.

And before any Aussies laugh, the national emblem for Oz is a large, bouncy mouse...

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
