Coat of arms of Oxford ... yes that Oxford ... the proper one with the university and all. Ox crossing the river ... yup that's fine ... but why a tattooed elephant or a green beaver? 

Heraldically speaking, isn't that one of the furs?  So it's actually a fluffy elephant!  :o

Green beaver?  Too much cheese at bedtime?  @-)
(I know, even though it's fantasy  :o  ;)  )

I've checked.

It's a ninja elephant.   :D

Elephant = strength, stature, wisdom and courage.
Fur gives dignity.

Beaver = industry and perseverance.
Green gives hope and loyalty.

Aww ... you've ruined it by being sensible.  :P

Departed Facility in AUCKLAND - NEW ZEALAND Monday, May 25, 2020 at 06:29

It's now probably got about an 8 hour drive to the Wellington distribution centre :-w

Or if I'm really lucky just over an hour by air :!!

Still not sure that a furry elephant is dignified.

I'm pretty sure a furry elephant is actually a mammoth!

Arrived at Delivery Facility in WELLINGTON - NEW ZEALAND Monday, May 25, 2020 at 09:08

It looks like my package flew down from Auckland and went direct to the Delivery Facility rather than a distribution centre :) :) :)

I think it is very undignified but the past is a strange country and they do things differently there, especially in respect of the interests of those with money.

[Fancy markings on a black elephant seems more like the drawing of a five year old ].
