Revealed: Labor’s secret plan to move Murray Bridge bunyip to Mannum
Labor promised a new home for Bertha in the lead-up to the state election. Now the shocking details of the party’s plan have been announced.
South Australia’s government has secretly been planning to move Murray Bridge’s most iconic tourist attraction up the river to Mannum, Murray Bridge News has learned.
A confidential plan leaked to this publication this morning has shed light on the Labor Party’s pre-election promise to build a new home for the bunyip at a cost of $320,000.
The catch?
That new home could be at Mary Ann Reserve at Mannum.
In a heist on par with Melbourne stealing the grand prix, concept images have already been prepared showing Bertha the bunyip at home in a new cave near the Murray Princess.
Asked to comment, a Murray Bridge council spokesperson described the plan as “totally unbelievable”.
However, a statement from the Department of Infrastructure or something confirmed that the bunyip move was “definitely a real thing, yep,” despite having been announced on April 1.
More to come.
