...found near Utopia, Australia...This story sounds untrue. I doubt there'd be a connection between this flightless bird and the magpie goose. Plus, there's no locale in Australia known as 'Utopia'; not with a postcode, anyway. Regards, By.

I found a mention of it online ...

The Embassy is also sponsoring an exhibition of modern batik called "Segaragunung". These batiks are the result of a collaboration between Nia Fliam and Agus Ismoyo, traditional batik artists from Yogyakarta, and aboriginal Australian women from the desert community of Utopia, Australia.

It was given as a straight story with some detail on MSNBC on Sunday. I only typed an abridgement, the original story is some 5 times as long.
