Wildlife of Gondwanaland

The artwork of renowned artist and Monash alumnus, Peter Trusler (BSc 1975) has been featured in an Australia Post stamp collection.

Mr Trusler worked closely with Monash University palaeontologists and researchers to create the Megafauna series, striking visual representations of how these now extinct animals most probably appeared during the Pleistocene period up to 50,000 years ago.

The October stamp launch coincided with a world-first display of flora and fossils and other striking images by Trusler at Monash University's Science Centre. Travelling exhibition, The Wildlife of Gondwana, featured 300 original and cast fossils, some of which have never before travelled outside their home institutions.
