“The Big Bratwurst” amusement park
You’ve heard of the Big Rocking Horse and the Big Lobster. Well, SA will soon be home to the Big Bratwurst!
The Adelaide Hills precinct best known for its charming German heritage announced today a landmark project with a budget of $250 million to design an amusement park dedicated to the Bratwurst.
According to Bratwurst development and amusement park affairs director Wurstine Linkenbrat, the park will feature over two kilometres of bratwurst-inspired attractions, including the Bratwurst Blaster roller coaster, the Sausage Slingshot, and the Towering Sausage Tower – an 80m observation deck offering breathtaking views of the park and the scenic Hahndorf village.

Monarto factory solves housing crisis
This morning, the Murray Bridge News had a bumper edition, from council sewer news, a savoury slice added to UNESCO cultural heritage and more.

Any developer of a mushroom tiny home sounds like a fungai.

Curious Unley Road commuters braced themselves to learn a bit too much about old mate Josh this morning. But, upon scanning the QR Code, it was actually Studio360 Unley offering lessons in loyalty, starting with three free sessions. From every person who’s ever almost passed out after a spin class, this seems like a suitable punishment for the Joshes of Adelaide.
