Description

Shows a cane toad leaning exhausted against a shoe as it explains that it didn't hitchhike to Masterton from Queensland. Pungent fumes swirl out of the shoe with images of cheese, stars and planets. The toad implies that if you take a whiff of the shoe you are likely to be knocked out completely and cannot be sure where you will end up. Refers to a Masterton man, Ben Molesi, who found a cane toad in his shoe when he returned home from Brisbane.
