It looks very much like that huge paddock/park just south of the St Kilda Marina.

Shame they didn't sort out the cyclists when they came in to land, aren't they classified as feral pests

St. Kilda, yes. The cyclists were retarded and ignoring police request for them to stop. That being said though it was a bit rude doing it in such a busy place at peak hour. There are dozens of other quieter more suitable places available. The red one had 2 unnecessary starts due to poor positioning, hate to think what that costs in a twin.

Hmmmm... quieter, more suitable places? I think you'll find they were winch training, and using (as they have for 20+ years) a very suitable place adjacent to the Bay and close to the Water Police base at the marina.

'The red one' is the Ambo machine: how do you know the starts were unnecessary, or the reasons for the shut downs? Winching briefs, loads, etc may well have dictated the cycles, hence the proximity to the WP.

Now, cyclists ignoring police is a daily occurrence on the city streets, why would they be expected to do so in the People's Republic of St Kilda

TurboEddie .. too funny!

If only they could run a match between an R22 and a 1980 Ford Sierra Cosworth - now that would bring a smile to my face!

Change of underwear is an understatement. Looking at the Rotor Coning the collective was in the pilots armpit.

NNB, it would appear that youtube was down for quite a while. I had the same problem in the UK, but all appears back to normal now.

Building a house (time-lapse)

Ok, you won’t catch much more than a glimpse of the SA.315 Lama used here, but it’s an illustrative vid that shows how you could build a house, utilizing a helicopter.
