A fair to remember - 30yrs since opening

A fair to remember BY JUDITH IRELAND, Canberra Times 10 Dec, 2011 01:00 AM You might say the drive into Canberra from Sydney is unremarkable. You know you're getting close when you make it to the Eagle Hawk. Then there's the stony ACT border sign. Then, the glimpse of Black Mountain Tower as you sw...

Re: Adelaide Show '11

Great photos Dazzleland. Your parents must've been feeling generous to allow you to take so many shots.

Keep up the good work. ps. did you ride anything? or didn't the parents allow it?

Re: Adelaide Show '11

Just got back from Adelaide Show. wow looked awesome at night with all the new LED's. Crowds seemed pretty good though the weather turned bad a few days and it emptied out real fast.

Now for the trip to Melbourne. anyone know what diesel prices are at the moment?

Re: Newell highway truck crash

I hope the driver and the ride both make a speedy recovery.

To make a positive out of this, it would be good to see Extreme or even Twin Flip replace it for Adelaide
