Post by: ST.George on February 20, 2014, 03:51:02 PM

G'Day STriders,


Here's a buncha-pix taken from Mt.Kembla about 7km up the escarpment looking down at the Southern Copper Stack destined 2 b destroyed 2day due 2 excessive concrete cancer and disuse 4 the last decade. According to the local ABC this is the is the tallest (200m) structure 2 b destroyed in Oz.
These photos were clipped from the video I took this morning - a beautiful day in the Gong and Wyvern was hanging out 4 a ride.

Saw it on Channel 9 just now.  Brilliant how they contain the destruction to a small area.
Anyone need some "clean fill"?
