Before your time Ratty? "NASA satellite image shows revitalized 'Marree Man', a 17-mile ancient carving in the Australian Outback that has baffled scientists since it was discovered just 22 years ago
A new satellite image from NASA shows a rehabilitated Australian landmark The Marree Man is a carving of an ancient human figure that's 2.2 miles long and more than 17 miles around its perimeter The carving was first discovered by a bush pilot in 1998 Locals began restoring the carving in 2016 after erosion had nearly erased it "https://wwhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7838141/NASA-satellite-captures-new-image-Marree-Man-Australian-carving-ancient-human.htmlThe dimensions of that figure are better than I could sketch on a pad - yet it is more than 2 miles long. That took skill and/or a viewpoint above the figure.... and of course - Why?

I am surprised that they didn't authorize returning it to its faded state.

I especially like numbers 1 and 6, Mr. Naut. I've been engaged in those for two decades now, and still going strong!

And what were the 'greens' and environmentalists doing months before the fires?"ABC deletes story about climate protesters halting protection burns prior to devastating bushfires Evelyn RaeJanuary 1, 2020
It was reported on social media on Monday that ABC Gippsland deleted a news story they shared in September about members of the local Nowa Nowa community protesting strategic asset protection burns in the region. During the protests, ABC Gippsland reported, “The protesters held up signs, positioned themselves in the area that was planned to burn.” One of the protesters allegedly commented to the ABC, saying she hoped she wouldn’t be fined, but she was more concerned about climate change.
“I’m more worried about climate change, and the impact the burns are having. I’m worried for my grandchildren. “The mulch is the only moisture on the ground and we don’t want them to burn away that mulch.”"More here:> caldronpool.com/abc-deletes-story-about-climate-protesters-halting-protection-burns-prior-to-devastating-bushfires/I wonder if the woman's grandchildren were the ones jumping into the sea to avoid the fires she is responsible for?

Is he Aussy? Is the hat religious in nature? I didn't understand some of the words but the inflection of the dialect suggests communication could be possible with a little work He needs to retake the English lessons from Boris Johnson
