An illustration of a giant megafauna quokka as fictional speculative evolution. The quokka is smiling and looking off to the right in a sepia toned woodland bush scene amongst eucalyptus, rocks and a log. Illustration style is ink line work coloured digitally.
Purely speculative evolution. Had there ever been a giant megafauna quokka relative, would they have had the same smiley cuteness? Probably not, but it’s fun to imagine.

Highly recommend that park if you find Morialta or Warerfall Gully too crowded and need a quiet walk just as close to Adelaide.
