Strange things really do happen in Noosa
We were just admiring the ocean from up on our roof deck on a beautiful Spring day on Friday when a helicopter flew overhead. Nothing new, we see lots, but a few seconds later another one appeared, towing something on the end of a long rope.
As it came closer we could see it was a big, mature pandanus tree with its roots all bound up, and it flew directly overhead before following the coast north towards Noosa. No doubt some rich dude bought the tree and paid for fast helicopter delivery!
About 15 minutes later they came back with another one. Maybe they’ll fly out a whole Pandanus plantation at this rate! This time I found the camera, (video and pic attached), but it didn’t stop until tree no. 4 or 5 flew past on the end of the rope.
Express delivery, Noosa style. Doubt if Australia Post or Fastways could match that but it must be a very expensive landscaping job.
