It's called a "hexaflexagon", there are various instructions online so just search and find one that works for you (I'd definitely start with a paper mock-up to make sure your panels are oriented correctly!)

I've made these out of paper before. Never from quilting supplies. It looks like each triangular panel is stiffened, but other than that it should be pretty similar to the paper version, I think.

The rover's work area, a flat broken rocky surface with a new shallow abrasion hole evident. The same image as previously but cropped to feature the new abrasion.

This was my second choice - my first was "Mick" but I realised if I shared a pic of my Uncle Mick it would be meaningless to most, and otherwise I couldn't think of a good one 🤣

Has anyone done any research on the proportion of the Australian population that have ever had a passport? Currently a bit over half have an active passport, but any research on the proportion that have ever had one? I get to around 70% and change by some modeling using a lot of uncertainty

That's gotta be one of the better ways to go. (Bonus if there are fun-sized chocolate bars within reach.)

I'd say "Ngunnawal and Gungahlin" but that just identifies someone as being from out of town, not necessarily a tourist (more likely a public servant on transfer).

Yeah the Aussies over a certain age would get it, surely! Unless it's different over there?

Honourable mention to the Yowie, which is what first springs to mind when people say "yaoi", but I'm partial to bunyips.
