Exciting news from the Wodonga Mens Shed!
As part of the non-profit community group Parklands Albury Wodonga (PAW), Men's Shed member Kevin Ennis sculpted two of Australia's Pleistocene megafauna Megalania and Thyalcoleo.
In the words of the Wodonga Men's Shed treasurer, Garry Knight, "Kevin Ennis is a retired Landscape Gardiner and is very artistic and clever... Kevin's 2 megafauna are just incredible. Built by a bloke with no plans or photos of an actual animal."
The APP congratulate Kevin, the Wodonga Men's Shed, and the PAW group on the fantastic representation of Australia's unique ancient life!

It's the end of an era! The WA council (on the right) has been taking care of AAP since October 2018 and has now passed the torch to the new NSW council (on the left). The WA council wishes the best of luck to the NSW council and hope they will continue to make AAP great for all palaeontologists!
