Hey patrice.. was at Werribee and saw your abandoned anchor as well. Bit of a shocker really.. my partner and I were tempted to take a picture and post it here for everyones perusal.
Firstly, those bollards are to stop you from using the small trees as anchor points. Secondly 2mm of tail on nylon slings tied with an overhand knot is NOT safe. Thirdly, you need to take some basic lessons on loads and angles because who ever set up this anchor has no idea and will end up hurting themselves or someone around them.

And no we didn't take your 2 Carabiners or your poxy pieces of nylon webbing.
