Because of a lack of suitable timber to make utility poles, a resourceful Adelaide utility engineer came up with stobie poles, which are a precast concrete and steel structure. They are everywhere around Adelaide and look spectacular against the sky.
Happy New Year everyone and all the best for 2012.
