Here's one for you, I hope it offends you deeply just because I'm in the mood to piss someone off.This is from Steep Point in Western Australia. It's about ten hours drive from me. I'm not that into Cairns either but I would never kick one over. Come at me bro...

out doesn't hate cairns in general just the tourist, "free spirit ones", that litter the landscape.

real one have a good use for navigation, when there is a reason you can't see the trail / markers, for example when you have frequent snowfall, or you cross a solid rock area when you don't have vegetation to be trampled into a trail.

it can really suck if people build random decoy ones everywhere

As a resident of Cairns, I can say it's one of the shittest places in the world.
>shit camping
>not allowed to have fires
>not allowed to hunt because 90% of everything is a national park
>too many sneks
>crocodiles everywhere
>every 2nd person is either Asian or Aboriginal
>40C summers with 100% humidity
>30C winters with 99% humidity

Can't wait to leave.

Pitcairn is worse. Pedo island.

This topic will always remind me of this off a wiki page of a pond I hiked by, sunfish pond;

>There is a collection of ad hoc primitive rock artworks (cairns) along the northwestern shore.[6] As of May 27, 2012, many of these piles of rocks have been pushed over.

i kick over the ones that mark cross country "trails". if you can't navigate without piles of rocks to follow you shouldn't be out there.

this one anon made is breddy gud, though. i always forget what human shaped ones are called.

>>20733
Is your pic a public place, it looks nice.

>turn 19

>come back home and visit sometimes
>there's fucking cairns everywhere
>every trail

>spend 30% of my time visiting home knocking over cairns with friends
>I get excited when I know I'm going home to knock down cairns

FUCK CAIRNS

>>20740
idk, but you are supposed to fap on them for good luck

It's the public lagoon on the Cairns esplanade. It's literally 90% semen and piss.

>>20744
>literally 90% semen and piss
Let's test the veracity of this claim.

>16075000 gallons pool
>1500 people at time
>7279 gallons of piss + 3 gallons of jizz
>Grand total of 7282 gallons of body fluids.
That's far from 90%

>>20745
sounds accurate

real ones are a bit more shapely and often have a few rocks with a splat of paint, maybe a stick, pole, piece of wood in the center and are some what uniform in size, and a sensible distance apart.

>>20727
Why would you waste precious life giving hyration fluid on a carin?
Wtf is the matter with you?

>>20734
underrated post

>>20739
Generally speaking real cairns can't be felled by a good kick or two. They're large piles of rocks built to endure the outdoors instead of a neatly arranged and flimsy thing setup for some Instagram post.

>>20747
>>20750
Not necessarily. A lot of the trails that i follow have shitty tourist looking ones that are actually pretty fucking important.
Also you get a nasty fine for kicking them, or creating them because they get people lost.

>>20747
not necessarily. Most of the real ones near me do not have those features.

Easier way to determine if they're a real one or one some hippies or school kids have pt together is thinking about their appropriateness and the function they serve.

>>20751
where are you?
what trails?
you may be right, but I dont really believe you. on tourist trails they're mostly done by people at places that are good for a rest and therefore people begin to assume they are there to mark the trail and are important. in most cases, thats not true.

>>20752
They lead between lakes and huts in the Tasmanian Central Highlands, usually at about 50 metre intervals. Highlands is big, sprawling and really fuckin' easy for weekend warriors to get lost. Especially when the could rolls in. They're entirely navigational.

>>20731
Gonna drive my commie over there this fukken weekend and kick the cunt over if someone shouts all the shit i'd need to cross aus in one drive twice

>>20754
Truckie speed?

>>20753
Having hiked some of that region, a lot that I saw werent navigational beyond yobbos putting them in to define the bath better, not something organised and something parks would fine you for

>>20756
You ever hit up Lucy Long?

>>20755
Nah mate just 5.7 litres of ls1 fury and truckie shabs

>>20757
Yeah mate, I fingered her in a sydney nightclub once

Out on a nearby hill hike I kicked one the other day for the first time. It was oddly satisfying. I'd like to do it again

Inukshuk, used in the desert or arctic as trail markers.

While standing at one you should be able to see the next.
