The world’s longest slackline running from North Fremantle to South Beach will be installed tomorrow when the bridge closes.
The emergency slackline is expected to be utilised by legions of rudderless, unwashed backpacking hippies who may have business outside of Fremantle and need a quick way to leave.
The measure is expected to ease congestion by at least 500 van life types per day. Which is great for the roads and great for the nostrils.
We spoke to a moon unit who said he’d definitely be using the slackline even though the stakes were a bit high. Adding,
“We all saw that CFMEU video of the danger beneath so I guess it’s incentive to get a lot better? I dunno man, I see opportunity in this bridge closure, I’m going to be the world’s best slackliner”
The slackline may become a source of congestion itself if hippie numbers to the area are to be believed.
Nevertheless, better on a slackline than on public transport.
