Suggested new precautions for deadly tree

On her way to the 3rd Annual Bad Signage Convention, Alison (a sign maker herself) was forced, due to pedestrian traffic, to take the track that passes beneath Sydney’s infamous Bunya pine tree.

‘It’s a tough job,’ she later stated, having carefully passed below the tree and miraculously lived, ‘but I love what I do, so y’know, you take risks don’t you?'

Discussion is taking place about the true safety of the tree, and how precautions can be raised to current Occupational Health and Safety standards, which are at an all time ‘Safety’ peak.

Alison has been short-listed for Young Australian of the Year 2009, for excellence and bravery.
