OK, so I have tried to create some avatars for the new State Boards. Some look OK until you reduce them to 33x33.

None look very exciting to me. I tried. Sorry.

Do Members actually recognise anything that is symbolic of their STATE?

Queensland = the Big Banana? Big Pineapple. XXXX beer? Cane toads, sugarcane ....
NSW = Opera House/Harbour Bridge
Victoria = Trams
Sth Aust = Churches/Barossa Valley
WA - already done (Black Swan)
Tassie - Tasmanian Tiger
NT - already done

Which State is known for crocodiles? mosquitoes? Great Barrier Reef? FNQ!

What else is Victoria known for ... other than the Melbourne trams?

I've been here 54 years and that would be something new to me.

I have no idea what you mean, Freediver. Grin

This is a cane toad. Ugly bugger***

This is a cockroach ... The Sydney ones are MUCH larger than the tiny ones we get in Canberra. Wink

Now, Freediver, tell me how to make them Maroon and Blue? Remember that not everyone on this Forum lives in Queensland or NSW or follows that "footy" ... some Members might even relate to the AFL ... Roll Eyes
