Dalek outta control


Isn't this groovy?
Can you guess what it is?
I photographed it while at Birregurra rail station.
Hawt Andrew 
has Guess This posts, and so does
and now I'm having a go.
A book prize to the first correct guess
(and no, it isn't an unwanted xmas-gift).

It's a bloody big party cone.
I reckon the Bong musta bin an old wheat silo thereabouts -- Typical wreckage from a Dubbo B&S Ball. :o)

It's the nose cone of the R101.

I like to read my comments, over and over.

Jayne said...

She's a water tower, Cap'n, and I reckon she's ready to blow!

JahTeh said...

I thought it might be Robbert's new concert hall.

Ann oDyne said...

it is about 30 metres high
and working every day

Robbert the book I had in mind would certainly please you so keep guessing.

HIp - please blog on the Dubbo B&S

I thought it was a water tower too.

Or they're trying to kill a big weed.

R.H. said...

Can we have a clue?

Andrew said...

Looks like maybe a timber mill in the background, so something related to that? No idea really.

R.H. said...

Charcoal burner?

Brick-making kiln?

Cast-iron wigwam?

Hell I don't know. I get the feeling it appeared there same time you did.

Middle Child said...

Middle Child said...

A silo of wheat perchance???

(That would have been a Declan typo wot I remooved.)

Carl Williams' bespoke sweat lodge? ;0)

R.H. said...

Bespoke is when the Bishop orders his Tomb.

Jayne said...

It's a Place Of Secret Men's Business, owned by the local CWA who lets blokes use it every second Friday on the proviso they hoover and mop the knitting looms inside :P

Ann oDyne said...

Thank you for your visits evahbodeee ... for an idea of the size of it, bottom right-hand corner is a truck which is real not a Tonkatoy.
Now I am going into the Old Ballarat Cemetery to photograph my favourite headstones, before heading south to Rokewood until Friday when I will get to Copperwitch's before we see you all at the frocks in Bendi-Au-Go-Go

R.H. said...

Who won? You have to say who won. And what the bloody thing is! Stone the proes!- what a stupid competition!

Caroline said...

Yes we can see it is ginormous. BUT WTF is it? You can't go, you must tell us. WE GIVE UP.

Jayne said...

I can't get to the Bendigo exhibition so you must tell me what it is - even if you just whisper on here ;)

rhubarbwhine said...

I have NFI, but I am itching to find out. I hope you post the reult here though. It DOES look like a huge Dalek doesn't it!

hip said...

Dubbo B&S? Woodstock Syndrome could make that a tad problematic, Possum.

You don't know what that pork barrel is either, do yu, Hmm?

Kris said...

A giant prophylactic of some description?

Ozfemme said...

Well, duh.. anyone can see it's a discarded badmington/badminton?? implement once favoured by the giants that inhabited this land.

Ozfemme said...

PS: what is the eta for the frock posse at Bendy?

DaisyDeadhead said...

Whatever it is, it's strange! :P

R.H. said...

It's a local monument to Miss Brownie's latest attack of the DT's.

Fill it with plonk and give it to her.

Ozfemme said...

it's a shuttlecock. See Ya Sunday.

Ann oDyne said...

I have been in The CoUNTry

where there is NO Vodaphone coverage for my mobile
NO Telstra NextG Broadband coverage for the very costly stick that goes in my laptop.
NOW I am getting from 3250 to 3192, a 4-hour journey, next bulletin here will be MONDAY

Thank you for your visits and comments.

Cast Iron Balcony said...

Wha'appen to today's post?!...
Or was it an hallucination?

Ann oDyne said...

Andrew got the closest.
It IS a timber mill and the giant shuttlecock burns all the sawdust shavings etc.
I will post the book prize addressed to Andrew Hiriser care of the PO at 3004 and they will ask him where it was sent from so the correct answer would be Cheltnam 3192

Thank you linesman, thank you hot ball boys.

Andrew said...

Can't say it is something familiar to me and I do have some knowledge of sawmills. Hope you send the prize to 479 St K Rd.
