We received this message today strapped to the back of a platypus.

Worried that some people may get a false impression of our communications
systems, we dashed off this reply.
This was sent via our high-speed link, which goes by camel between the major
bark hut villages. 

Unfortunately our previous message was routed via the Simpson Desert
and the carrier died.

We apologise for any delay.
