Mowing efforts defeated by the immovable stick of doom

Mock all you want.. but any true conservationist can see that the worker did not want to encroach on the rare legless earless dragon’s native habitat.

Lately I’ve noticed that the mower guys I drive or ride past have been really good at stopping until I have passed. Perhaps they have learned from past accidents.

Probably that combined with a little bit of laziness. Why stop and move the stick when you can mow around it.

Actually, I’m pretty sure the stick identifies the endangered habitat of the rare clueless bogan…………..maybe not so rare

Apart from the ride on mower, they also used to have normal lawn mowers for difficult areas, eg: under trees etc.

The park near my place must have lots of sticks because they missed a lot of it last week. They also missed the lane altogether.

Maybe the stick has heritage value! .

indeed. or belongs to an endangered species of stick. thank the stick gods JB has brought this to our attention so that if a development is proposed to be built within 10 km we can petition to protect the stick’s existence.

Another “Not My Department” special?

Common sense: don’t touch anything that’s brown and sticky.

What do you call a boomerang that does not come back – a stick, but seriously there could be a very good reason for not moving that bit. It could be a special stick plant habitat or the mower might be afraid of sticks (many people are and its called stickophobia) so let’s not be too quick to criticise.

I’m as wary as all hell when I drive past a grass cuttting machine, as I reckon I copped a painfull flick on the ear from driving past one being used on a verge.. And not that long ago a young Lady from North Qld was instantly killed when hit by a piece of metal thrown by a large council mowing machine.

Got a rock through the side window of my car a few years ago. Makes me nervous every time I drive past them and they are mowing near the edge of the road.
