Another Mickey Mouse Clock.

Queensland University (A Real University, as distinct from Queensland University of Technology - A University for The Real World! - but that's another story!) has a beautiful campus originally intended to resemble all old 'traditional' Universities, has a large oval limestone cloisters and a tower with a clock that is about 30 ft or more in the air up a vertical face, and about 15 feet from the roof, etc..

One day, the Vice Chancellor happened to be crossing the quadrangle in the morning looked up and there was Mickey Mouse in all his glory, poster on wall behind hands and neat little white gloves and all....

Stayed there for three days, until the grounds staff finally decided that they really needed a cherry picker....

There is a hill near Toowoomba called Table Mountain, and one a nice religious lady claimed to have seen a vision, and so a small white wooden cross was erected on the top of the Mountain - without obtaining Council Permission to erect anything on Public Land - which became a pilgrimage point.

Cross got pulled down, thrown over side.

Larger cross erected, same thing.

Still larger, same thing.

So the forces of Good rallied and erected a huge Steel Monstrosity set in concrete...... determined people can backpack an oxy cutting set up a steep narrow winding mountain, you know.... :-)

There is no cross there today...
