THE CURIOUS CASE OF TELEGRAPH POLES, eccentricity & Aussie nudity
14 March 2023
Whilst trekking in Western Australia, we came across a Telegraph Station museum at Hamelin Bay, dating from 1884. Clearly our Aussie brothers share a passion for telegraph poles, and are keen to combine this with sunbathing and naturism. I'm unsure whether this would catch on amongst British Telecom engineers who might struggle with natural inhibition and early morning frosts. Incidentally, a fanatical love of Telegraph Poles is not limited to Australians. We 'Pommies' have our own 'Telegraph Pole Appreciation Society' http://www.telegraphpoleappreciationsociety.org that is a wonderful blend of photos, information and eccentricity, including 'Telegraph pole of the month'.
