What’s that you said Jack?

While the Norfolk Pines on Harbour Esplanade may struggle in Docklands’ wind, there’s a new tree in town that is firmly planted in the ground.

A talking tree has found a home at Docklands’ Wonderland Fun Park in front of the Spiegeltent.

The tree has been shipped all the way from the Philippines and upon arrival required some heavy pruning to ensure it would fit in its new surroundings. Several of the tree’s longer branches were removed.

For those who have already seen the tree and heard it speak, you weren’t wrong if you thought its voice sounded familiar.

Renowned Australian actor Jack Thompson has lent his talents to give the tree a truly distinguished voice.

As fate would have it Mr Thompson had been in Docklands attending the Screen Producers Association conference and gladly obliged when Wonderland Fun Park management asked if he would share his voice with the talking tree.

Can you guess what Mr Thompson had to say to the chatty tree when he stopped by to visit?

“Your bark is worse than your bite.”
