That's outrageous. I could fly to Sydney for that. And it wouldn't be on a budget airline either.

Justin the Tracker Dog: Justin was one of 11 working dogs that were in service with the Australian Task Force during the Vietnam War. All 11 dogs are commemorated with plaques bearing their names fixed around the base of the sculpture, in the order they were sent to Vietnam (Justin was the 2nd dog sent over.)

Reunion: This sculpture captures a moment in time when a soldier returns from war to a reunion with his son. The 20 metres of open ground between these 2 sculptures is charged with the emotional path of reconnection. Originally based on a Vietnam veteran's story of returning home to Australia and seeing his wife running across the tarmac towards him (hotly pursued by a Military Police officer, as she had jumped a barrier,) the sculpture interprets this as a universal story of reunion and jubilation.

This Indigenous soldier carving depicts the two moieties of the Wurundjeri people, being Bunjil the Eagle, and Waa the Crow. Vietnam: a soldier wearing an eyepatch is tethered to the ground by grasping hands. Acknowledges both physical injury and the invisible shadow side of war experiences.

Obviously, it must be an authentic, environmentally crafted mat, made by hand in a remote Peruvian village and delivered to the airport on the back of a llama.
Either that or it's mass produced and they're depending on catching people with more money than sense😁.

Of course the rules won't apply to people like him.
Because they're always working in out best interests, right?

Yes, we had managed to dodge Covid until early this year, and our vaccinations definitely reduced the severity of it. Stay warm and look after yourself!

I repeat that whenever you see a man toss a woman around in front of witnesses and cameras, you can bet he’s had practice in private.
