    There's a shit load of rain heading in according to the rain radar - that should help a lot. Hope there's not too much damage.

    Jeez youre quick barty.

    Its right in the middle at the back of the MX track from Spagetti juntion south. Just got home. Had 4 choppas in but had to let it burn as they couldn't fly due to visability.

    Dunno the cause, but the rain is helping heaps. Its devastating for all of us.

    Sandpit will be closed for a few days until notified. There is a trail ride on tho that we have full intentions of going on with. Go the rain.

    Heard the local engines in town leave not often the siren sounds off 4 time thought it was odd the your son posted o FB. Not good news the hear. Guess itll be easy to put in some new tracks hopefully it wont cause to much disruption.
