There are some lovely Bunya Pine trees in central Bright. The only problem with them is their potential to drop football-size nuts onto pedestrians and vehicles.

Someone placed a sign near the Uniting Church, which says to the effect: “BEWARE FALLING PINE CONES”.

My immediate instinct when I read this sign was to look upwards.

That made me think it’s a stupid sign, probably put there to offset perceived insurance risk.

What’s worse: Having a bunya nut fall on your head or poke you in the eye?
