Three of CASA's finest were there last week. They had come out for a dawn raid on all the charter ops down to the lake.
They couldn't believe their luck when they stepped out of the rossair conquest in time to see joe showoff in his longranger blast off from the line opposite the pub, do a quick 360 - 50' above the pub then shoot off across the oval toward the bakery. Poor bugger. Hope they were gentle.
I asked what their position was WRT policing drinking/swagging it under wing and they suggested it is up to Diamantina Shire Council. The people running the pub are concerned people may stay away if it is not allowed - and rightly so - the races are the highlight of the pub's financial year.
BTW - there will be a room at the pub (normally not avail to public) up for grabs to the highest bidder on ebay sometime soon - proceeds to charity.
