Skirmish = ambush

Gloating over the destruction they've caused ...


... they get spotted by an army patrol


And a skirmish ensues ...

Run, you ... you ... destroyers, you!

We will get you now


OH, NO!!!!! It's a TRAP!!!


Caught! Fight or flight?


Definitely flight! This time!


Uh-oh! It seems not everyone is quick enough! This could be ugly!


How embarrassing (not to mention fatal!!) - killed by a herbivore!


Look at them, gloating over their victory. Cold-hearted monsters!

Ride the taniwha

Hhhmmmm .... So, that's where the pterodactyls roost!




Ah, but they have been discovered - that should sort them out!



But in the meantime, the invaders have adopted more unusual forms of transport ...

Hope they are holding on tight - that could be a bumpy ride!


There is a large force on the move here, too. That taniwha is probably a slippery character, you dinos had better watch out!

Reverse Bungy

"Oh my, THAT looks like fun! Let's go try it out!"

"Hey! You dinosaurs have a war to fight - you're not supposed to be sightseeing! Get with the programme!"

"Yeah, but it looks like fun!"

"Sigh. These modern day invaders - no commitment to the cause!"

"Yeah, but it looks like FUN!"



"Yeah, but it looks like FUN!"

OMG, why did he do that? Is he THAT scared?



Just queue up nicely for your turn, that's right, boyos.



You'd better hold on tight ...



... cos you're going UP!!!!!!!

Airborne attack!

On reconnaissance again. Just working out where they are.



But clearly not the only unusual foreigners in t own



Checking out where they plan to go, perhaps?



But no! They are looking for the airborne division!



The attack on the Skytower is under way. In force!

The reinforcements are wasting no time settling in.

It would seem this group intend to travel


Hhhmmm, now what time is our train ...?


Oh, okay, it's the 1:33, which is leaving in 2 minutes. Better get on board ...


And up above ground, in Queen Street, some others are going shopping


They certainly know their brands, don't they. No living in the past for them!


OMG! They are taking on the civilian community now!




While this one just seems to like the flowers on the nikau palm tree




Oh, and quite up with technology, as well. Queuing for a new phone? Well, THAT'S a first for dinosaurs!

Apology

Ahem!

(adopting best BBC voice)

My apologies for the previous report from the battle front. Unfortunately, it was placed by one of our ... younger ... reporters, who has not sufficiently grasped the value of dispassionate reporting, spelling and grammar.

He will be spoken to.

After he comes out from under his mother's apron.

Normal service will be resumed shortly.

Reinforcementz!

The reporters have been doing an OK job, so to show you where they had to go to get the shots, here are some maps.

Map 1: An overview


Map 2 and 3 - the early days




At the Museum


Out in the suburbs also


And, of course, in the centre of the city!


More maps later, maybe
