As you should.

Yes they are.  I am told they are moulded around steel poles to protect the service statin from vehicles that lose control coming down the hill.

And all the trucks that have done that have gone the other way into the fountain...

Because that is where the straight run leads them. Government planners are wonderful creatures sometimes.

Big Tyre Swan - Lyndoch SA

Back in the 1960's these were all the rage, and there's plenty of instuctions on YouTube detailing how to make one.   I have know of this Big Swan for a while, so went for a ride to bag it today.  A polite knock on the door to let the home owners know what I was doing,  was answered by an old lady who invited me in.  The old chap that made it is now wheelchair bound, and he told me he made it around 20 years ago from a tractor tyre, and cut it using nothing more than a small kitchen pairing knife, lubricated with plain water.

It only took me almost five years but I finally found it (looking worse for wear).  Unlike you I didn't go off the tarmac for it.

When I see SLR, I tend to think of the large 7.62 heavy automatic rifle I carried and shot occasionally..
