What a strange find. This is an orange stress ball. I thought it was an orange as I was mowing in the kindy. How did it get in there? Oddly enough, Social Futures run our funding to people with disabilities and I deal with them all the time as I care for my brother. But they never come out here. I hope the owner isn't feeling too stress without it! Did whatever dug under the fence bring it in? Some things in life never get answered I guess.
@onewing when you consider I don't live in a town, and the kindy is well inside the property and fenced off, they really must have wanted to get rid of it!
These mysteries do give us a lot of mental and imaginative exercise though. My take is that it was carried in by some animal that likes to collect things.
@merrelyn it was either a little munched on or perhaps just degrading. you can see that just to the left of S and F. I can't imagine an echidna doing it, and even a bandicoot? another case of wouldn't I love to go back in time and put a camera out ...
