Na, Dorklanders wouldn't know how to turn the tap on the tanker!
I DID say Tanker aye?
Phew, sorry to hear about the troubles down there guys and girls, hope everyone made it home safe and sound.

My trip was about 40 mins on the bike. It was gridlocked from Adelaide Rd.
Was a slow ride, but a least I was moving. Must have been a huge spill as the grit was everywhere. Got heaps of it stuck on the bike so it must be full of oil.

oh aye, went through it just after it happened in the truck. i wrote the post on the mobile while stopped at j'ville. i hit the diesel at about 70 kph. eventually made it up the hill. it was about as slippery as ice. lose momentum and die. if i had stopped i would have started going downhill with my wheels locked. unrideable on a bike for sure...
