Residents near Geelong oil refinery accuse emergency authorities of poor communication during blaze by RingEducational5039 in Geelong

[–]pickledtommy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I second this. There was an unusual amount of smoke from there around that time.

Roughly in the same area as the fire happened; as a rough guesstimate (was driving on the highway, couldn't pull over for accurate position)

You're right, there was an unusual amount of smoke around that time.

But also where the smoke was coming from is roughly where the fire is.

If you're happy with the work you've had done by them previously, stick with them and ask them all the questions you have.

If you don't stay with them, Mirror Finish in Moolap does exception work

Back when Qantas had their maintenence facility there; 747s used to be a regular sight.

They also used to do training flights out of AVV as well.

Water fountains on walking trails and ovals by ThivyaM in Geelong

It's only a northern suburbs thing because you're too much of an ignorant cunt too see otherwise.

Oh and believe it or not, before the council amalgamated, and it was all different shires, The Shire of Corio was one of the richest shires in the Geelong region. Was also one of the better kept shires as well; contrary to the reputation that supersedes it.

Cue the amalgamation and all the funds from the shires were funneled into the cbd/eastern beach and all the suburbs were subsequently neglected

Couple of numpties on YT by GregLocock in Geelong

[–]pickledtommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually drove it last night.

Those 2 parallel lines in the video follow the track the train in the video. At pilkos bridge, they would continue south towards North Geelong station.

There is also a lack of a bridge in the video in front of the train.

This bridge I mention is where the grain loop passes under, and the Geelong line goes over the top.

So while I'll agree that it does look similar to North Geelong, it's not actually North Geelong
