Waterfall Way Achieves Final Form: A Literal Pile of Rocks
DORRIGO — Government officials are reportedly stunned that a road literally named after falling water and gravity has once again succumbed to falling water and gravity.
A 250-tonne landslide has successfully closed Waterfall Way in January, officially transitioning the key regional route from a transport corridor into an interactive geology exhibit.
Despite $72 million previously allocated for "resilience works," the mountain apparently didn't get the memo. Transport authorities have assured residents the funding was put to excellent use, pointing to several state-of-the-art, highly resilient "Road Closed" signs now flanking the debris.
"We are deeply committed to long-term planning," a government spokesperson announced this week. "Our current strategy involves waiting for the dirt to stop moving, pushing it slightly to the left, and crossing our fingers until the next moderate drizzle."
In the meantime, stranded locals are adapting to their new, isolated reality. Students on the Dorrigo Plateau are enjoying an indefinite, state-mandated extension to their holidays, while local agricultural businesses are reportedly pricing out industrial trebuchets to launch their produce over the blockage.
Safe access is expected to be restored within six weeks—leaving commuters just enough time to drive through once before the mountain inevitably clears its throat agains
