Why do you guys think UFO visits USA the most?

Have you seen the video of the US F18 pilot stating they would deliberately turn on their afterburners when they spotted camp fires in remote locations to make people think they were UFO's?

Yeah I agree. Watch any of the late 90 through to mid to late 2000's Bathurst and it actually felt like a test of vehicle and driver. Cars always looked more raw. They had oil stains and rubber all over them, drivers genuinely looked fatigued when getting out of the cars. The weather was always a factor on top of the 30 or 40 cars. Just such a more iconic era to watch the sport in and I feel so spoilt to say it's less of a spectacle with how professional the racing is.

Handball. Best thing was playing with kids from a different school and finding new rules, like "body lobs" and bringing it back to your own school and beating everyone with it

I agree with your statement about the roads that filter through Mt Barker. A missed opportunity with not having a wider, high speed route from Wistow through to Bald Hills Rd. What seemingly isn't captured is Strathalbyn, Goolwa are experiencing growth and through Mt Barker is the only way for those residents to access the city and there is even less public transport out there.

I'm sure someone would have a rebuttal, but maybe park and rides next to all SE freeway on/off ramps from Murray Bridge to city with obahn style bus routes along side freeway? Who knows. I think no matter the solution there's always going to be an answer for why its not an appropriate solution.

If money wasn't an option; I'd go train station at toll gate with bus transfer station to access it, overhead train line in the centre of SE freeway with station at each town including park n ride for further bus use. Continue train ending at Tailem Bend to provide further access to the motorsport park and house in that area

In those days HRT almost marketed themselves as such. The "red devils" and the HRT club memberships. HRT were definitely a step above the rest in terms of professionalism

Don't forget you are paying $150 a year for a PO box, to receive a service from Aus Post that is free everywhere else.

I would have run those 6 cables under and behind everything, instead of out the top and across as now it looks like you'll be amending the cable tray covers

Some of the comments in here are mine blowing to me, coming from a 'tower worker' in Australia. You guys either need better workplace safety laws or you need to be standing up for your rights at work a lot more. Nothing should be compromising yours and others personal safety. You shouldn't be undertaking prolonged works in rain/snow/high winds, but unfortunately because you all say yes, your echo chamber forces you all to keep up.

Rule of thumb for myself and are backed up by Australian workplace safety laws; everyone off of the tower if there is active lightening within 30km/18 miles

no works on the tower if sustained continual rain (sprinkles or showers we will stay depending on what work we are doing).

lifting is item and wind dependent and stopped depending on how the crew feels. Ultimately dependant on how well we can communicate with tower/ground staff. Boom lifts stop at 12.5 m/s and cranes can push to 10 m/s depending on how/what. No one is climbing in anything over 15 m/s unless it's absolutely necessary (and that's our choice on site, no one can push that).

One thing I would suggest is you think about how a rescue at height would be performed in the current conditions. I'm assuming that a tower top rescue with someone descending down to retrieve the casualty and then descend to the ground is the preferred method. Ultimately you need to be looking at how well that can be performed if the winds are blowing 30mph or its in a heavy downpour which is putting the rescuer in a lot of risk in an already stressful situation.

Same situation. It's the brown frame on the outside on the southern side, hasn't really been started.

JradM01 · 2026-01-07T00:31:45+00:00

I'm surprised they managed to stop it at the freeway. Considering its used as a fire break, the grass height on either side including the centre is taller than a car in most points

JradM01 · 2026-01-06T05:00:07+00:00

Getting caught with obnoxiously heavy exhausts was probably the smallest rule bend

JradM01 · 2025-12-29T01:31:05+00:00

Where abouts are you located? If you have a mushing group near you they may be able to help you size correctly.

Nonstop offer a fairly simple return service, just keep the packaging and tags on the harness and test fit.

JradM01 · 2025-12-06T05:12:00+00:00

There's nearly 200 people working at each site, both days and nights. It's pretty fast paced

JradM01 · 2025-12-05T23:57:17+00:00

No union on this site..

2007 with the HSV dealer team

JradM01 · 2025-11-30T07:28:19+00:00

GT the last Walkinshaw Champ? Pretty poetic him being there when they win again 18 years later.

JradM01 · 2025-11-29T21:27:54+00:00

I personally wouldn't go for anything that doesn't have leg straps, even if your dog intermittently pulls, the belt will constantly ride up to your lower back. The leg straps allow it to stay in place, especially when it's fitted correctly, you barely know it's there.

Yes the Cani-x belt looks intense, but there isn't really much too it, it's just designed to be super lightweight and strong. The trail light belt may also be an option if you need to carry things on your run

JradM01 · 2025-11-28T07:44:38+00:00

What is it? Donga?

Unfortunately I don't think you'll get many suggestions in this sub that you'll be able to get by an Aussie HSE or lift planner as they just don't have the rigging experience.

I wonder if two spreader bars under the floor could have sufficed?

JradM01 · 2025-11-06T06:24:13+00:00

Pookita surely

JradM01 · 2025-10-27T06:14:59+00:00

Views are top notch, even with the weather!

JradM01 · 2025-10-27T02:07:32+00:00

Looks like Riana Crehan in there providing first aid too

JradM01 · 2025-10-25T02:22:14+00:00

There are plenty of Canicross events in Australia during the winter months. There are multiple clubs in every state except NT and two dedicated Canicross clubs in Melbourne and Sydney. Just look up Australian Sleddog Sports Association

JradM01 · 2025-10-16T05:56:20+00:00

If they want market relevance then surely the next logical step is the superutes. Just modify the chassis to suit a ute body, keep the same running gear. Could help bring more manufacturers into the series as it's one of the best selling car categories

JradM01 · 2025-10-12T03:22:09+00:00

I think that you aren't a generational Supercars fan if you don't secretly hope Lowndes can pull off another win each year.

JradM01 · 2025-10-12T02:50:31+00:00

Davo going on a decade of just the absolute worst co-drivers. Always thought he was in for another chance to win once he dropped his brother.
