No really, it’s true. Wesley Boyd built the 4.4 metre high, 2 metre wide tree, which also lights up at night, out of 2,536 Victoria Bitter cans.
In all, the tree took 14 months to construct, though Mr Boyd acknowledges it wasn’t a completely single-handed effort.
“A few of my mates love drinking VBs, so when they bring their own drinks over, we all keep the cans,” he said.
But why build it in the first place?
Mr Boyd came up with the idea after his mother passed away from Alzheimer’s disease. “I wanted to support [the fight against]Alzheimer’s, because I’ve seen it and it’s horrible,” he said.
He’s now collecting donations every night in December for Alzheimer’s Australia.
What a legend.
