Ultralights Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Just returned from a trip to Lightning Ridge, the Toowoomba flood waters have arrived! from about 20 NM south Light Ridge's Southern Ocean Walgett-Ridge road. closed in numerous locations Approaching overhead the town and airstrip, with Ocean to the north and east. Directly overhead the town, and the view North, look, Levees work! Lightning Ridge township, with water to the North and East And the view to the West, yep, totally surrounded and cut off... oh, and a Bubble tecnam canopy on a 44 deg day is NOT fun.

Guest Maj Millard Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Ultralights, Really amazing how the large bodies of water just cruise all around the countryside in their own sweet time. Nice shots. yes I'm sure the tecnam bubble canopies are a bit cooler in Europe !.................................................Maj... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
