The mission: Your story in Perth

More than 100 trucks fell victim to the once infamous Bayswater Bridge, either crashing into it or becoming stuck. 

Locals say it was a troll living underneath the bridge that would cause the trucks to get stuck. The cheeky troll would change the signs to fool drivers. 

But when the bridge was demolished during the station renovation, the troll vanished. Now it's on the loose looking for a new home.

Your mission: Find it and capture it. Start at the Bayswater Hotel and interview locals.
