Yep! Bearing in mind that for many parts of Australia, that wind is coming straight outta the Antarctic circle.

I was born in New Plymouth (NZ) so this was very confusing on first scroll-by. Does make me reflect that we had some low-effort- fantasy-trope-ass English names for areas of the town - Blagdon, Spotswood, Hillsborough...

I'm assuming this outfit started out white and you're just really bad at not spilling your Gatorade

Some PM has a KPI to make AI adoption line go up, and he (almost certainly) is nailing it. The "Songs of Innocence" strategy.

Maybe I'm showing my specific prejudice around the flight capabilities of the African Swamp Hen 😅

There's some evidence that Pukeko arrived in NZ from Australia about 1000ya, I think the conclusion is they flew here (or maybe floated?). I'm no expert but kinda feels like drawing a long bow to avoid the possibility of pre-colonial trans-(pre)Tasman trade? academic.oup.com/auk/article/...
