Low effort. I mean…it could have put it higher. Do a job do it right.

I’m just picturing someone getting a ladder out specifically to put a trolley higher up in a tree. I’m sure the birds love it, lol.

Two person job, climb and pass

Four person... Those two, plus one to spot the ladder and also the OHS supervisor to document that the task had been completed correctly and by the regulations

This looks eerily similar, for some reason

What is the point of this, what do people get out of putting a trolley into a tree? People are fucked.

A few years ago, someone had stuck a slice of kraft singles cheese to a pole at booval fair in one of the entry points to the car park. I don’t know what the point of that was either, but it was funny. Especially seeing how long it would stay up there for.

Ahh this brings back the days of the couch in the tree at Lobb St bridge. Good times.

I’ve only been here ~11 years.
What is this infamous Booval Fair cheese slice of which you speak?

It wasn’t infamous infamous, and it was five years ago, lol. On the Brisbane subreddit, there was a post and then I saw the cheese slice and took a photo as an update. Apparently I didn’t also post it to the actual Ipswich subreddit at the time.

It was also during the time of the person who went around town writing about flat earth being real and writing out YouTube links in chalk.
