Words by Wayne: ⁠
I enjoy moments of 'the ridiculous' that are sometimes presented unexpectedly.⁠
⁠
Driving from Killarney to Boonah, I came across this stretch of road. The Department of Transport and Main Roads were good enough to warm me that I was about to pass over a cattle grid, but said nothing of the looming geological anomaly that caused the road to curve tightly and drop dramatically.⁠
⁠
Maybe they don't have a sign saying, "Prepare to swerve, bloody big rock ahead".⁠
⁠
Cut It Out will be on show at Petrie Terrace Gallery until Sunday, 25th of May, 2025.⁠
