What has 10 boobs, a chicken bum and recently found its mate wearing a belt of fish?

nope this is not a crazy dad fun pun, for real life

I still dunno what they really are but it does look pretty mad and the engineering behind it has gotta be interesting

Here’s some fun facts I found on the Skywhales wikipedia page

“Skywhale’s length and her pendulous breasts make her more difficult to land “

Thats a pilot politely say it flys like a bucket of s%$t but damn its good to look at

“Australian Capital Territory’s government invited five specialist balloon manufacturers to submit proposals to construct The Skywhale, but the Bristol-based company Cameron Balloons was the only one to provide a bid.”

I can just imagine this coming across a engineers desk and them slowly backing away i think there is a key reason why its limited to 100 flights pendulous boobies make for working out fatigue stresses somewhat difficult ..

Balls of Steel.

Thelma Point. I visited this little spot some years and have always wanted to get back with the right conditions, its a fine balance between too much water flowing over the rockshelf and not enough to create a nice cascade.

Its also a good reminder to watch the sea and never assume that just cause there has not been any waves come across for 5 or 10 minutes that its all sweet. This spot, on this morning, had some odd rhythms to it, it would go almost 12 or 15 minutes without a wave making it over the shelf, then you get a whole bunch, like 5 or 6 waves that would nail it.. and when those bunker busters are pounding the pavement its hard to hold your own
