We have just build a house in a new estate, just outside of suburbia. Not far away there are semi and rural properties and some nature reserves. One of those was on fire (Bushfire) today and the bomber choppers got their water from the lake in our estate which we look out on too. Approx 100m from my front door. I thought it was a pretty odd view. The lake, waterfountaine, childrens playground, families picknicking, kids playing and two choppers hovering 1m above the lake, taking on water.
Like I said not something you see everyday... Baz

2 weeks ago a man 3 houses down was run over and the care flight helicopter was hovering above my house before landing in the cemetary next door.
