Hey @Hodge, found out the other day, while we were away, the wooden horizontal beam on the power pole out the front of house snapped and all the power lines came down across our nature strip, driveway and from the house to the street. Bloke up the road rang Powercor, they didn't know anything about it & asked him to stay there until someone came. An hour later, someone came. Took them 10 hours to put it all back in place.
Powercor haven't spoken to us about it. Thing is, we spend a fair bit of time out there gardening, we would have been killed had someone been there.

I mowed under it today, I'd a been stuffed if it fell down again today.

The lines end at our house, so they were flat down along the ground for at least 150 metres, including across the end of a street. Really makes me wonder if they DO check these things.
