Yeah that's pretty weird. And I suppose the weirdness of the mystery wall is why the ABC chose to be so whimsical in the opening of that article.

It's infuriating that no where is any attempt at an explanation given for why the wall was recommended or built.

Human history is littered with the remains of big walls.

China has one. It is quite famous. Germany had one, but they tore it down.

Pink Floyd sang about one, and people liked that a lot.

Now Tasmania's West Coast Council has erected its own entry, but locals are not thrilled.

Guessing there was so little information to go off of, that the writer had to have a bit of fun.
