Rubbish display: man pulls garbage truck alongside Manly Beach

Australian strongman Troy Conley pulled a 17 tonne truck along Manly Beach to a roaring crowd on Wednesday, 3 March. It was followed by the Manly Sea Eagles launch for the season.
 
Conley pulled the URM truck 25 metres and raised five thousand dollars for children’s charity Little Wings.
 
Sea Eagles players including Daly Cherry-Evans, Tom Trbojevic, Kieran Foran and Club Legend Brett Stewart were all on hand to cheer in support.
 
Cheaper and more environmentally effective than fossil fuels, we guess, though there could be delays in the bin rounds this week…

This is a friendly reminder that Manly Observer has been created on the rather terrifyingly risky “Karmic model”, that is, we have built something to intelligently inform (and at times entertain) the community as priority number one, with the intention of working out a sustainable financial model second. We feel hyperlocal news shouldn’t be behind a paywall nor require broader subscription to a state masthead. We think we might be able to do better than this, but it’s an experiment.  While we work to secure sponsors and advertisers, we welcome any community support via the “Buy Me A Coffee” widget on our home page or visit here.   Thank you for supporting free, independent, hyperlocal news! If you would like to become a sponsor or advertiser, email editor@manlyobserver.com.au
