work in progress 'Two Headed Tasmanian' Inflatable Puppet (top photo),
a Stow-away in the Sesquicentennial Birthday Cake
demonstrated here by my one-headed daughter, Rose ( middle photo)
when we took a specimen of
an Axially Bifurcated Blind Velvet Worm to Melbourne
as part of the 2007 Tasmanian Freakshow
to celebrate the 150th Birthday of the St. Marys.
This shy, delicate creature (see below), who lives under rotting logs
on the floor of the forest in Tasmania's Northeast,
is found only within a 5 kilometer radius of the township of St. Marys.
As an 'Intentional Tasmanian' born under the sign of Gemini ( the Twins),
I am personally completely in favour of 'Two Headedness'-
two points of view, perspective, a balanced approach -
after all, Two Heads ARE better than one !
*Possibly many Native Tasmanians,
(most of them singleheaded, i might add )
are a little uncomfortable with the stigma that has been attached to this
beautiful place-too many "Show uz yer scar' jokes-
but the rest of the world is slowly catching up-
Tasmania is the last unspoiled South Pacific Island!
He has another Head, just like this one (his other half must have been having a nap) and 15 pairs of legs-
and he usually wears dark glasses when going out ( which he doesn't like to do very often...)
