Hi,
  chemicals were mentioned in the TV news, and what looked like a blown apart pipe was shown. It looked like a 3" exhaust pipe some what.  May be an attempt at some home made pyrotechnics gone pear shaped.


cheers

Hope the bloke recovers okay Brett.

The inlaws property is directly opposite the old footy oval where the air ambo landed last night.  Spooked Paul the bull who escaped from their paddock.

Yeah, he wandered into next doors for a while and then back up near the house to the studio where the inlaws wwoofa's (FYI http://www.wwoof.com.au/) are staying and startled them.  Easy to coax him back into the paddock, as their only little Dexters.

Any news on the bloke?  going to be okay?

Questions got to be asked, why was he making a bomb WTF? What was he planning on doing fishing crocodile Dundee style or blow the dunny to bits?
