New Zealand Doodler

One of the benefits of the new communication age is the opportunities which are offered to talented people wherever and whoever they are.

For example, Oliver Lonsdale's aeroplane-based "Amelia the Great" drawing will feature today 3 Feb for 24 hours on the Google website.

He said: "If I could travel back in time I would go back and see Amelia Earhart. She was the first women to fly the Atlantic Ocean. 

She vanished in 1937 somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. She set the fastest transcontinental flight in 1933."


The 8-year-old's Doodle 4 Google entry was under the theme "If could travel back in time I would . . . ". It won the overall national prize ahead of about 7000 in the age group 5 to 15 year olds.
