Tick this one off your bucket list: the Ballandean Pyramid. ✅️
A man-made stone pyramid standing roughly 15 metres tall and built using locally sourced granite blocks.
Built using an excavator and dump truck over a span of eight months, you may be asking: Why is it there? Well, simply, the landowner had surplus granite from excavations on the property, and he constructed it purely because he could!
