A woodwork artist from the town of Woodenbong has pitched his idea for a giant wooden bong to be constructed as the towns main tourist attraction.
Paul Pearson makes bongs as an occupation, and had built one that stood at 1.5 metres, but he has an even bigger goal that he believes will bring droves of tourists to the rural community.
However, the pitch has drawn mixed responses from the community, with Githabul elder and Woodenbong local Gloria Williams stating the town's name was adapted from the local Indigenous word Ngandgung-bunj, and has nothing to do with a bong.
