Found this on a recent road trip in Darwin. Had to get the drone out for it.

Good old Aussie creativity. Maybe the quad owner got shifty with a crane operator who wants his money or perhaps just to make an example of someone who is delinquent in paying. It might belong to the crane drivers X’s new love interest.
Could be a lot of things. It probably wasn’t ridden up there though.

I tried to figure out how it got it there. Not sure if it was a crane. It's 130 kph in that section and the shoulder of the road not wide enough to put a crane on.
Think it might have involved a bit of Aussie currency (ie slabs of beer) and a few mates to carry it up. Guess we will never know - just like how the pyramids were built. Lol
Once during my foolish youth I took part in a wind up to “park” a guy’s Citroen 2CV between two external wall stanchions. The only legitimate way to achieve this was by way of a 52 point turn. (Using forward and reverse gears, as they now say in the driving test.) Or by lifting it bodily into place. By the time he located official (P.C Plod) assistance we had lifted it out and parked it nicely ... 1/4 mile up the road. He was then called back to the Plod Shop and warned for wasting police time. Of course the 2CV was again place parked in the gap by the time he returned to the scene. We (the six miscreants) happened across the puzzled chap and offered our help. Easiest couple of beers we ever earned. We did let him know how we came up with the prank .. eventually.
And that is the shortened version! It went on for a few more cycles.
He didn't learn the first time?
Every time he went to complain to the department tutor .. or withdraw the complaint, we either replaced or removed the car as appropriate. Unfortunately, he also couldn’t find his keys otherwise he would have just driven off. He could not figure that the lodgers would do anything for a laugh.
FYI, We were apprentices on a live-in 4 or 6 week course. If only we had found a flag pole ... we could have had a real riot.
Boys!! What were we like!!?
BTW, we gave him back his keys before the end of the course.
