...to pick up the latest Antipodean tips and tricks from our cousins down under

This one is Maddy.

She is teaching me how to use my legs to swing.

This is Olivia’s home. She didn’t know they had a redback spider until our research team uncovered one

Sophia and I... (don’t tell anyone: we are holding the First Adelaide Pirate Summit, planning a mutiny)

This is our secret body language sign for... well, I can’t tell you, right? It is a secret!

Only members of our research team know the language

This... is how we “say” our secret slogan

My colleague Mattias has a vocal slogan of his own. It goes: “Og mig...” (“And me...”)

We share magic moments of togetherness

...and our findings here in The Antipodes are simply extraordinary

What do you think such a superb specimen would go for on the market? .

In our coffee breaks, we focus on the findings in front of us on the table. Native stuff! Mmmmm!

And then we head off for the next point of digging.
