Water buffalo
Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) were imported into the Northern Territory in the 19th century. They were used for fresh meat as well as working animals. When the early remote settlements were abandoned in the mid 1900s the animals were released and became feral. Their numbers have increased and they are now considered a pest. They are enormous beasts reaching as much as 1200kg and they thrive in the wettest years.
This playful design is a hat-tip to the late great Andy Warhol, in particular his colourful repeated screen prints of Marilyn Monroe. The idea came to me while staring down a huge buffalo blocking the road to my house one night. I was grateful to be in a large solid 4WD while I contemplated putting lipstick on the imposing beast.
