Zane Kirkwood has just ridden from Perth to Adelaide to raise funds for charity, a road where road trains fly by every few minutes, if that can be done safely then a dual lane road north of Adelaide should be fine if road rules are followed.
Road rules aren't always followed and there's so many terrible drivers and bike riders on the road. Of course if we could get rid of all the terrible drivers and riders and somehow miraculously ensure all road rules are always adhered too then I agree roads could be safely shared. Will never happen though, we all know that.

I spent several summers of my youth in Coobowie, Edithburgh and Yorketown and I know several families that still live in the area.
I don't pray, but I hope like buggery they and their world's are ok.
When they talk about lives and properties lost they are really just made up numbers, my Grandparents lost their house to the Pinery fires, they were in their 80's and then there was a loophole in their insurance cover which seen them not receive compensation, they both passed away within 18 months after it, it basically killed them having to start from scratch at their age.

Love Coobowie and Edithburgh. I hear the town hall burnt down. Terrible news.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

We used to frequent Fishermans Bay as kids and then it became Port Victoria as we became teens as my dad took a liking to scuba diving.

The people who make those decisions from behind a desk never have to think twice about it either.

Sorry to hear that lad, whereabouts where they situated? Talked to a bloke from Warooka today, reckoned it got within 25km of them. Sounds like Sultana Beach got in strife as well.

Sorry to hear mate, it's hard to imagine the intensity of the situation when you hear that the whole of Edithburgh was told to evacuate to the beach, real lump in your throat sort of stuff.

Hope all get through it ok, love the Yorkes. Take the kids to Ballywire Farm every year when we go over there, fingers crossed they got through unscathed.

I hope you're alright.
I'm not to bad apart from the shock of it. The 2 other blokes who worked in the same truck for the last 15 years or so are a total mess though
