Bribie Island: So, there was this driver who got totally stuck in the water at Bribie Island, and it turned into quite the spectacle. It was right before New Year’s, and you know how busy those tourist spots get. People gathered around to watch this epic fail unfold.
The driver tried to cross one of those water spots that off-roaders love, but things didn’t go as planned. He ended up bogged down and couldn’t move an inch. A drone even caught the whole thing on camera!
Luckily, a good Samaritan came to the rescue and pulled the vehicle out of the water while onlookers cheered. But it got folks thinking about how these incidents are affecting the environment. There’s even a Facebook page dedicated to all the drivers who’ve found themselves in similar situations.
Bribie Island used to be a quiet getaway, but now it’s packed with visitors every year. Even on days when no one gets stuck, the beach looks more like a parking lot during peak times. After the latest bogging video went viral, many Aussies were shocked at how crowded it was and worried about the impact on the island’s beauty and wildlife.
One person commented, “Look at all those people, that’s just gross!” while another called it a “circus.” It’s wild how many vehicles are on Bribie Beach, and some folks are really questioning if it’s doing any harm.
It’s not just a funny story; getting stuck can be a costly mistake. A towing service owner mentioned that depending on where you are on the island, it could cost anywhere from a few hundred bucks to $700 to get pulled out. Yikes!
So, if you’re thinking about heading to Bribie Island, just be careful. The tides can be tricky, and you don’t want to end up as the next viral video!
