Very confronting images Baz.

Extra warning to everyone about opening these links, they contain very graphic footage and images, and may disturb some people.

Yep, but if it saves one life, it's worth it!

More disturbing would be to go through it in real life, it's not good, trust me I know >:(

Leave early if you need to be somewhere by a certain time otherwise............be patient.  Its better to arrive at your destination then never to arrive at all !

Most important....I'm an idiot on the road and so is EVERYONE else.........just keep remembering that and look out for the idiots.

Have a great long weekend everyone.

Cheers.

I'm planning on passengering safely to my chosen destination and then getting pissed and falling over (in that order).  With any luck it will be warmer in front of a fire cooking a roast lamb dinner (photo to follow in the Camp Oven section).  We'll be a fair distance from the highway or any well used road, so doubt we'll see anything "graffic in the traffic" ... but inside the CT could be a whole other story.   >:D

Unfortunate start...

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/two-dead-in-terrifying-car-smash/story-fn7x8me2-1226073343261 (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/two-dead-in-terrifying-car-smash/story-fn7x8me2-1226073343261)

Two people were killed and another three left in a critical condition after a terrifying car smash in central Victoria last night.

In a horror start to the long weekend, a four-wheel-drive towing a trailer along the Western Highway in Burrumbeet, near Ballarat, was believed to have flipped just after 10.30pm.
