Random joke and interesting pics

Yeah? Always thought they were govt debt collectors. Can you be arrested for outstanding debts? I thought you'd be summonsed for something like that. I may very well be wrong but until I snapped this pic (and never since) have I ever seen a Sheriff custody van. Interesting, I might have to do some googling.

There's a minor Sherif depot very close to my work. And just about every morning they congregate for donuts at the smoko shop next door. Friendly bunch it seems. Quiet often have a chat with them.
I will ask the question for you Plassy.
I will note that some of them are more armed than others and do drive more aggressive vehicles . They now have some Colorado's divvys from memory.
The rest are armed , but they drive Hybrid Camrys.

An old vertical mine shaft just decided to unveil itself in the middle of our road.



Crazy stuff as the amount of trucks, cars, horse trail rides and bikes over the years that have passed up and down here, so so lucky!

Far out man that is unreal! That is so bloody dangerous, they must have known that when they built the road?

.. looks like a good place to hide dead Greenies to me... just tell 'em it is a Lesser 3 Toed Fruit Bat Habitat and keep pushing them in until no more fit and bitumen over the top... simples

Holy Hell, that is something that could end badly for sure, going to be interesting as to how they sort it out, whether they survey it to see what direction it heads of simply backfill - wonder how many more are floating around. Impressive effort to dig it.

SES kindly have Council Engineers on the way now mate.
Will be interesting for sure, our whole area is a maze of underground hard yakka mining from the early days.
Apparently there were more pubs (rum bark shanty’s) than anywhere in Australia here at its working peak.
This other one is only 3m off the side of the road nearby and some 50+m deep, super safe area for possum spotting pissed at night

... would add a new meaning to "pull over for a sec, I just need a wee....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...thud!!!!

Gotta be careful over here in the Gold Fields for that reason but there is usually a big mullock heap beside the abandoned shaft as a hint

If you didn't want to hold the meet up at yours, then just tell us! Not go to such extravagant lengths

Wow that's crazy. No shortage of drama on your side of the hill, lightning one week, mineshafts in the road the next . . Got a pretty cool lightning bolt out of the blue last night sounded like it was right on the house lol. .
