Voodoo on the way to Bungendore?

Reptoids

thumper beat you to it:

reptoids.

though without the obligatory capitalising of the first letter, so thumper can clearly not be trusted.

i thought they were placed there by a lazy santa’s helper who couldn’t be arsed climbing into some slacker kid’s chimney to deliver what s/he clearly didn’t deserve…

Ritual sacrifices, in the traditional Welsh Witch style of “Twll Tyn Pob Annibynnwr”,
by Gillard to get the independents to bend to her will.

Reptoids

Or perhaps it’s a cuddly version of the Blair witch.

They’re watching you……..

The Milat clan put them there.

I heard that it was an ex-boyfriend who took a girls teddies and nailed them up…

Looks like it’s some geocaching fun.

They are always different ones. So I think different people keep on doing it after someone else started it years ago.
There used to be a giant monkey in one of the trees.
It’s fun for the kids to count them.

One of the rumours I have heard is that a few were originally put up for a kid who had to travel from bungendore to Canberra for hospital treatment regularly.

Another one a few were put up at the scene of a car accident were a child died.

Who knows? I think it’s a nice oddity to look out for on the trip.

I tell American visitors that they are drop bears.

I love how this pops up every couple of years. I thought urban legends were supposed to spread word of mouth without the need for people to ask.

Fantastic topic – I have wondered on MANY occasions what the hell those nailed stuffed-toys are all about. Kinda creepy and weird as you drive along and the distance over which they’re present seems to be getting longer and longer.

Would love to know what they’re all about!

the first time i saw this i was totally creeped out. iv tried counting them but got bored at about 40 it is quite disturbing.. one of these things that drives me crazy i need to know why they are there and did someone stop at every tree on one go to do this or was it added to over a long time..

answers please
