well the roads have truly gone to shit around here as you can imagine with all the rain and flooding we've had

i got an SOS call from a freind at 11:30 last night, she hit a pothole and damaged her rim.
damaged was an understatement it and the tyre were aboslutely f++ked to say the least
it must have copped a few people tho, where i pulled over was 6 hubcaps laying in the grass, including a mk4 golf one

anyway this one takes the cake however

13meters wide and 7meters deep 😂

One of our Adelaide staff told me the other day that we need a pipe from Qld to SA. I told her that we already have one called the Darling Murray (although present rain probably isn't falling that far west in Qld), but the problem with the Darling Murray is the Queensland steal most of the water first, then it's the turn of NSW, then Vic, so when a tiny trickle arrives in SA it is filled with nasty chemicals and human excrement!!

Re the photo above, how many council workers do you think will need to stand around and watch that pot hole get repaired?

The real problem is the murray at the beginning has been dry so its taking a while for the water to flow down, but it is happening slowly (from the last floods)

think they'll be able to retire after it
said in yesterdays paper its going to take atleast 4 months to fix and given thats a fairly major road is a real PITA for alot of people

the forces that it would have taken for this to happen would have been amazing
there was already a 5foot high culvert/pipe thing under it big enough that people used to walk through it
and for it to be to much for that and take away 7Meters of soil and road with it really is something else

it happend around midnight so lucklily noone was around to be injured

STIDUB Over it.
