Revisiting Kim Stanley Robinson's Green Mars as an audio book in my break at the Arvo Job today, I heard the line There was movement at the spaceport and had to giggle. I replayed it just to me sure. (For confused non-Downunderers, this harks to a classic Oz poem - I'm sure you know the movie.)
I then had to hit pause and take a moment to clear my mind of the impressive image of a herd of brumbies thundering through Valles Marineris, Tom Burlinson coming up at the rear cracking a whip.That's what happens when you watch too many Mars documentaries with mind-boggling graphics.
