Things you should not use on a domestic Qantas flight

I travel around Australia a lot for work and I fly with Virgin when I can.  This week the only direct flight home  that was available was with Qantas, therefore I had the pleasure [dis] of flying with the big Q.

Now I usually keep myself well occupied on flights, reading a paper or magazine until I can start using my laptop or phone.  The problem is, that I always tend to find when we begin our decent and the seat belt sign goes back on, I am bored with nothing to do after I turn off my electronic devices.

So this week I was getting desperate and ended up reading the safety instruction card where I found the following diagram which of course justified turning my phone back on to take this picture.

I was happily learning the things I should and should not do whilst on a Qantas 737.  I was pretty sure I had it worked out.

• No mobile phone from the pre 2000 era.  Check
• No stop watches. Check
• No music players that resemble microwaves. Check
• No walkie talkies. Check

But the last one had me stumped.  I decided to ask the gentleman sitting beside me for some help in understanding the last item that I must not bring on Qantas flight.  He put his glasses on and was quick to inform me that we are not to bring any wild animals onto a Qantas flight.  Now this makes sense but what on earth is the freak of a creature they decided to use in the diagram, should have they not gone for some brand recognition with a kangaroo?
