Now that the weather has warmed up, there’s been some strange sightings occurring around the island. Franklin has alerted me that while he was stargazing the outback sky last night, he saw some flying Jackaroos dashing through the sky! At first, I doubted him, but he reassured me that he saw it with his own two eyes. Well, one to be exact, because he did have to close one of them to use his telescope, ha ha ha! It seems these sightings are becoming more common, as townsfolk have been leaving more investigation quests on the bulletin board. Please take a look when you’re in town.

He looks a bit lost, so if you see a strange marker on your map, maybe try to track him down to help him out?

I’ll leave you with a message I’ve received from James. Happy Holidays! Fletch - Head of Island Exploration [i]Hi everyone! It's nearly the end of the year and I just want to thank everyone for playing Dinkum this year. I can't believe how lucky I am to have a wholesome community and so many people play my little game. The next big update is still a little bit away, but to hold you over until it's ready, I thought it would be nice to give you guys a small festive update, as a gift for the holidays. This event will only be available in December, but anything you find or craft during the event will remain in your world after that. I hope you have fun tracking down the new festive items.
