Teddy Bear Lynchings

That may be true shenanigans, but I’ve heard several people say “this is the true story”.

There are many urban myths about the Teddies. The truth is that they were started by a doctor in the Moruya area who would often drive with his children to Canberra. He invented the teddies as a method to keep them amused on the long drive, so that they would have something to look out for and would know that, for instance, when they saw the pink teddie with the bowtie that they were only half an hour away. They are, however, completely creepy and have spread all across the south coast. I saw some in Bodalla the other day.

JC comment : “I belive it has something to do with people marrying in Bundgendore. Each one that does it hangs a bear on the way.”

Oh dear. I guess my wife and I have failed to hang a teddy bear! 🙂

I belive it has something to do with people marrying in Bundgendore. Each one that does it hangs a bear on the way.

Hahaha, I was told the real reason for the teddy bears was as a “safe journey” gesture for people travelling to the coast.

Whether it’s true or not, I don’t know but they were supposed to be like guardian angels I was told.

The Bears were a spontaneous prophylaxis against Bogan infestations of secret South Coast retreats first noted in the CT by Angela Shanahan.

They proved ineffective, but, regardless, have continued to appear in other locations and have now been listed as a feral pest.

They have nothing to do with the election, or the Eden-Monaro electorate (or so we are told to believe).

I found out once upon a time, but then I’ve forgotten it by the time this got regurgitated again.

A targetted google will do you good.

I looked at all the links given, and no one knows why they are there!

barney bear?

I have heard a rumor that the bears that live “Poo’s Corner” on the Clyde are breeding in the wild now. They have bred so much that they are considered pests. It’s kind of like the wild-dog/cat tree’s in the outback. It shows that the local people in the area are doing their part to eradicate the influx of wild bears.
