位于澳大利亚维多利亚州Strath Creek小镇的Milky Way Point观景点因社交媒体走红而面临困境。1该景点的主要吸引物是一棵名为"Hangs Tree"的枯死弦树，坐落在私人有机农场内，1一家旅游运营商甚至以此为卖点，每天收费超过500澳元提供"病毒魔法树"摄影之旅。1
不断增加的游客流量为当地社区带来了严峻考验。1上周二，当地清理小组在一天内收集了13袋垃圾，其中包括尿布、咖啡杯和卫生纸等废弃物。1更为危险的是，三周前一辆车从陡峭山坡边缘坠落，造成3人住院。1面对持续恶化的局面，当地居民采取了极端措施进行反击——他们在路边放置死袋鼠和袋獾，试图阻止游客进入。1由Alex Whitford组织的当地居民小组每周开展2至3次清理活动，1但这些努力仍难以遏制问题的扩大。这片地区距离墨尔本北部约100公里。1
A scenic lookout in rural Victoria has become the center of a growing dispute as social media fame transforms a quiet farming community into an overcrowded tourist destination. The Milky Way Point viewpoint, located near Strath Creek approximately 100 kilometers north of Melbourne, has attracted hundreds of visitors seeking photographs of a dead stringybark tree known as "Hangs Tree," which sits on private agricultural land.1 The surge in visitors has prompted frustrated local residents to resort to extreme measures, including placing roadkill animals along access routes to deter trespassers.1
The influx of tourists has created significant environmental and safety concerns for the area. A cleanup crew removed 13 bags of litter in a single day last week, including discarded diapers, coffee cups, and toilet paper.1 The situation escalated when a vehicle careened off a steep embankment three weeks ago, resulting in three people being hospitalized.1 Organizer Alex Whitford has coordinated regular cleanup efforts occurring two to three times weekly with local residents.1 Meanwhile, a tourism operator has capitalized on the site's viral status by charging over 500 Australian dollars per day for photography tours to the "viral magic tree".1 The combination of property trespassing, environmental damage, and public safety hazards has left residents determined to reclaim their community, though the core problem continues to worsen.1
