    Found a submerged vehicle

    for a vehicle to be that far in the water, i think it must have been going at fairly high speed (ie not just someone pushing it or dropping it into gear and sending it for a swim) notify the police asap. hope there is no one inside

    Where are the Gosh Dang Mavic 2 Refurbs?

    I got onto Red Back wheat beer from WA many years ago when i was a trendsetter. Not sure if they still make it but it was a nice drop. I once had a massive night on Coopers Pale Ale at Innaminka pub.

    Where are the Gosh Dang Mavic 2 Refurbs?

    They were great adverts When i moved to the NT, VB (or green cans as they were known) were a form of currency. People would quote small jobs such as "that will cost you 3 cartons of green cans. ?

    i used to work in the construction industry which is known for its 'blue language'. I had several very religious people working for me and when they were on site, they used to say 'flop it' instead of the well known phrase. funnily enough, flop it used to draw more comments than the xxxx it

    power lines

    The regs for construction work (NSW) is/was remain 6m clear of 330 plus kva lines. Years ago, we did a controlled experiment to replicate a fatal accident where the crane operator stated he was 4m away and the power jumped to the crane rope. We cranked it up to 330kva and couldn’t get it to...

    power lines

    I was following some wild horse at high speed and the drone suddenly stopped. I had come upon a set of very high tension power lines. It must have been directly in the line of the sensor because I didn’t see them from my POV Lucky for me, it didn’t make contact and I just had to RTH

I'm travelling full time around Oz (18 mths so far this time) and recently came up thru the deserts to Birdsville.
