The bbq graveyard

I must admit this amuses me no end..

Nicks school is situated next to a catchment/easement area that runs through our neighbourhood. Its a great big band of grassland that is prone to flooding when it rains (been a bit dry up until recently though) I remember it being flooded right up to the neighbouring houses as a child.

But I digress.

The part that is near Nicks school has become a bit of a graveyard. Over the past couple of weeks what started out as a singular dumped rusty 4 burner BBQ has swelled to at least half a dozen of them. They are all in the same sorry state, and they all seem to be identical of type. Where are they coming from? Are they breeding? Are they from "outer space"? Should I call the authorities before its too late and these alien BBQ's take over Nazza Wazza Sth..

I wonder if I should happen to deposit an old esky next to one of them, would they then multiply. And an old banana lounger. We could start a whole outdoor setting for the local "Norm" types to crack a tinny in.. Add a chain link fence and a clapped out VB Commodore and voila we have a local example of the fauna of the area to inspire tourists to take snap shots of.

Could this be the start of a new enterprise for me. Best get the planning permission underway for the carpark, after all got to park the Mr Whippy and the Donut van somewhere

  1. Go for it, Madge. You could make it into a tourist attraction - "Come see how the real bogans live!" - and make a buck...
