Thong tree (flip flops) by onewing

Thong tree (flip flops)

The same chap who collects soft toys for the 'animal rescue tree' - photo a couple of days ago, also collects abandoned thongs (called flip flops in the UK) from the beach and nails them to a tree. People even leave thongs at the foot of the tree for him so he can add to his collection. We're a strange bunch here in Port Stephens!

This photo is for Deb who wanted me to add it to my 365.

@gypsy6 Deb recommended you to me, today I too found a strange item growing on a tree, not quite as interesting and as colourful as this though!

@heidit There are more trees in this collection. I think the chap is retired. You have to have a hobby don't you. It makes people smile!
@tillycarter It's a bit off the beaten track, so most people miss it.
@brennan1983 Thanks Brennan. You should come here then, we have some very weird things here.
@fueast Thanks Alison

@onewing haha- I would love to leave North America (something I've never done) and visit Australia. It seems you live in a wonderful place.
