caution pothole ahead...

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 😂

You'd lose more than a hubcap down there!!

Send some of that rain over here! 😎

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?

omg I bet there's more of those about atm 🙁 be careful..

a bag of cement and 5 guys all fixed

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

im the type that could of been driving around midnight, overnight runs from brissy to syd remember, best time to go i say, no slow old people with caravans, less trucks & general traffic too, 24hr maccas helps when needed, will be interesting how busy they new england highway gets now since all traffic has to go on it, so im told anyway

New England was busy and it was closed for an hour due to a shop fire near Tamworth🙁

oliver ave, goonellabah, approx. $400,000 to fix

New England was good when i came through today but we did leave Sydney @ 4 am and after a few stops for fuel and fuel etc were home at 4pm .
