But whilst at Brisbane's Southbank, my camera got contaminated with sand and all my photos were corrupted!
But I've been on heaps of rides old & new!

Going to Queensland next year!!
I have very good news! Even though my father passed away 3 months ago, I'm finally & officially going to Queensland for the third time next year! Not by car, but by plane! :D My mother was lucky enough to win $50 Million in the Power Ball lottery and she had just booked flight tickets at Jetset!...

This is the terrifying moment a fairground ride broke off and flipped over, throwing one teenage boy into the air and trapping his friend beneath it.

Re: Royal Adelaide Show '12
That blue single axle converter dolly is used for towing the Thunder Bolt's auxiliary trailer behind the main trailer but only when traveling on country & outback roads. Single axle converters are rare in Australia & New Zealand.

New rides for this year's shows
Which new rides Australia will be getting this year?
I suggest a refurbished Larson Ring Of Fire imported from the United States and a KMG Mission Space would be coming in late July.
