good as gold brother. the last really big one they had here was in 1971, I got wind of that & bought up high, to hell with the flats, then again the river had to rise at least 10 meters to break it's bank. Will go to newy tommorrow & get you a clip.;)

WOW! Great shots.
And after 10 years of drought you have a flood for a few days then the process starts all over again... What about hitching a ride in that chopper to where the stranded ship is? :D

didn't you hear the line on the news ? its the most used line on TV... "not much rain fell in the catchment areas, increase in dam levels of 0.1%." i wanna know who the fuck put the catchment areas and dams in places it never seems to bloody rain.

... you know i got talking to the chopper pilot & I reckon if I played my cards right i would have had some aerial shots, but alas the frickin ferals showed up stating the chopper would have to have a turbo etc & it was the latest news model etc, the bloody thing was 20 years old f/fsake, ah well another premium photoshoot by the way huh.;):(

Holy hell, what's that a school there?

"Hey Timmy, lets go play around the beached bulker!"
"Yeah! Maybe if we get a bigass ladder we can get ON the thing!"
"YEAAAHH! Lets just duct tape some ladders together, I mean with this thing only 30 yards away from our school, we may as well assume the world's ending now huh?"

Or... ya know... something like that. :p

"No! Let just grab the camera and shoot it from a safe distance." Said Timmy11. Yes the tanker may break up.

Thanks for the perspective Gaza. Maybe the view is exaggerated by the angle somehow but at least that gives me some idea.

I like the original touch up better. The ship in latest is too dark. Can be mistaken for a log.
