Great war

Photo of a suburban road with a line power poles on one side and a row of gum trees on the other.
A Stobie pole is a power line pole built using two steel beams with concrete in between them. It was invented by James Cyril Stobie as an alternative to traditional poles due to a shortage of suitable timber in South Australia. It’s still widely prevalent in the state and some other Australian cities.

Facing off in style:
gum trees versus Stobie poles,
a battle for life.
