Take heed.  There are hundreds of huge pine trees in Ballarat- fair warning.
We used to use the cones as fuel for the bath water heater at the lodgings we had there many years ago.  Much cheaper than the brown coal briquettes that were the alternative.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Was it only a day?

Anyhoo, you're the worst culprit at starting this type of thread.    :p

I've nearly come a cropper riding over mango pips on the road. Very nasty!
