that looks like time/date i was on the lake - tops at that time on the radar certainly into the FL45 range! FL50 + was the forecast, so not too far off!
no wonder the wind was a little cool........

The sad news is that Hercules had one adventure too many and won't be making too many more videos.

Dunno Warbo, but I am really intrigued as to how you steer it (apart from rudder).
Don't see any stick............so my guess is an airship.
Am I close?

Too easy! It's the Holden blimp. I was lucky enough to get a ride in it when it came through a while back. Pitch is indeed controlled by a big 'trim wheel style thing' next to the pilot's seat.

Its a bit wet in N Qld!
Here's the high road bridge over the Burdekin R at Macrossan (near Charters Towers) with a bit of a "fresh" going down the river (4 metres over the bridge)! It was a couple of metres higher than this yesterday, but the weather was too crap to go flying.

I hear that there is a bit of a water shortage down south!
Ever wondered what a dam wall looks like with 6 M of water going over the spillway?

Note the public road on the left and right of the pic - runs along the base of the dam wall! Anyone for white water rafting?

The road/rail bridge between Home Hill and Ayr.
