This must be the craziest bullaun I have ever visited. The map shows the stone to be in a field next to a road junction. I parked the car up and looked around and upon seeing a cleanly ploughed thought, 'Oh well, another monument gone.' I got back in the car, turned around and startd to drive off. At the junction I looked down and thought, "That's a unusual mini-island ... Hang on ... it's a bullaun stone painted green in the middle of the road!"
The stone has two shallow, roughly carved bullauns and is painted bright green, although the colouring is a bit worn away. I imagine that the horse trailers going around this corner to the nearby stables probably go over it all the time.
The stone is set in a diamond of white quartz pebbles surrounded by a curb painted orange. Very patriotic.
