Ellen Muller is a Melbourne based publishing student in her final year of study. She can usually be found in the library basement doing some writing/editing work and flagrantly disobeying the ‘no food’ sign.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Do not feed bread to ducks, it is bad for them. Instead, please give them frozen peas or seeds or other foods they would encounter in their day-to-day ducky lives. Or just leave them alone to the Mad Max-style ducktopia they already live, thrive and survive in.
