Maybe that guy is a wannabee Elephant?



That is interesting. That doddad may have been the prototype for the WW2 Dungeness Listening Ears to detect approaching Enemy Aircraft coming over the Channel.

There's something like that at the Radio Telescope at Parkes (NSW) where you can wisper into one and it can be heard about 50m away.

We have a "Whispering Wall" at the Barossa Reservoir, same thing.

It wasn't the whispering bit that unsettled me it was the weird sensation of on one side was water up to the top & the other side just emptyness. Walking the wall was quite an odd sensation.

Kings Park in Perth also has a whispering wall at the War Memorial
Not quite as spectacular as the Barrosa but it’s a bit of fun for the kids

Roger that.

From Westprint Friday Five;

SKINNY DIPPING
An elderly man in the Atherton Tablelands had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large dam in the back. It was properly shaped for swimming, so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the dam, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over.
He grabbed a twenty-litre bucket to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the dam, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his dam.
He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.
One of the women shouted to him, 'we're not coming out until you leave!'
The old man frowned, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the dam naked.'
Holding the bucket up he said,
'I'm here to feed the crocodile...'
Some old men can still think fast
