For 10 years, despite objections from authorities, Lang Lang residents have been hanging their old kettles beside Kettles Road.
Key points:
Locals began hanging their kettles there to show travellers that it was Kettles Road
The kettles are regularly removed, but locals continue the tradition
A local council regularly removes the kettles from the street sign, but the kettles have a knack for reappearing.
Lang Lang resident Cynthia Gain, who runs the community newsletter the Lang Lang Flyer, said locals were committed to keeping Kettles Road, a five-kilometre stretch that connects the town with the South Gippsland Highway, well stocked with kettles.
