The things they do for amusement in Yass

[Keith Webb]

This is for those who like their entertainment in big bounces... the Yass people derive huge amusement by dragging large tyres to the highest point on the farm and seeing how many sheep they can splatter along the way.

The end result is a large BBQ enjoyed by all.

I've seen some of the Canadian entertainment recently, what else do you fellas do for fun? (keeping it clean of course)

[Tony Smith]

You could almost fit two people side by side in that tyre! Does that make it a 4 Seater:

[Wayne Henderson]

Do they make a sand patten in that size?

[chris vickery]

This is actually a recognized sport over here, called the tire flip. Usually one of several events in the popular Ironman competition.

That first tyre could qualify as an Armoured Personnel Carrier for a third world nation or 'Dad's Army'

Bringing the dizzy troops back to barracks at the end of a hard day's campaign might be difficult.

Disposable APCs - what next ?

Ah, yes; I've done it a few times with the 623 14.00x20s and thank heavens for divided alloy rims, still two tyre changes a day finishes me, being an old fart that is.

There was talk of putting a sheep in once to see if it could make the trip to the bottom, we thought the bump when the tyre hits the creek would knock the old sheep about to much.

Have you folks down under ever heard of an organization called 'PETA'?

[Tony Smith]

Don't tell me; there's a club for people who "Push Enormous Tyres Around". Excellent, we ought to get a branch "rolling" in Australia .

...isn't that the bread you put "TENDERISED" sheep parts in before eating?
