Amazing

Nice catch!

How often do the fighters land or takeoff?

Did you film this from the fighter world museum observation deck?

Where is the audio from? Never heard RAAF FR radio before

It's pretty

OMG

lmao the way the last guy walks, absolute gigachad lmao

Is it possible for me to use and share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Cheers!!

The last one is classic

where can I find these images?

I was on holiday at Carrowbrook, NE of Singleton , having ridden my 250c cc BSA to there, as a young inexperienced rider. We got word that it was possible to get through Singleton fo get back to Hexham where my mothers house had almost six feet to water through it, The rain in the creek prevented me from getting out for a couple of weeks, as there were a few creek crossings too deep for a cycle. However later I got out and over the Dunolly bridge , there were army trucks carting mud away from the main street and they were crabbing in the slime and battling the camber. I went down off the bridge and slid into the kerb.It was so slushy I struggled to stand up and there were miles of this just to get through the town, so I managed to get back up the slope to the bridge and returned to Carrowbrook fo another few days. The long bridge had been washed away at Mailand just below the Hospital. but they put a temporary road below it. I spent the next six months of weekends repainting the interior of the family home. There a huge amount of work done to clean up everywhere and we have to take our hats off to those folk who did it, much of it unpaid too.

А че они не падают???

almost mate

This is amazing!!

In the thumbnail it looked kinda like lego for me

HI do you have specs on the towing truck? Who can I call for information? Thanks for sharing the video

I lived in Rutherford for 4 years and my ex father-in-law lived through the floods. Him a another man were stuck on the long bridge overnight. They were standing on the rails holding onto a light pole. He use to tell me they saw a huge house floating by with people on the roof. As far as I remember he said there were a few deaths. His name was Allan Peak. He later worked on the Maitland Gaol until its closure when he was assistant superintendent.

What a timely reminder of the power of a flood. It is to be hoped that the present floods (March 2021) don't inflict the same damage and concern.

Awesome window to an earlier time. great work

they blew the dam still under construction using a media black out , that water flooded into maitland in addition to already high waters and the rest is history. I owned an old house in central maitland, the water was 20ft deep.

Interesting situation for sure.

Thank you for sharing this. The photos are wonderful, love Danny Boy, l could almost hear my dad humming along. A Newcastle girl all my life! 🇦🇺🐨🇦🇺❤️💖

If you have ever watched the Australian movie "Newsfront" with Bill Hunter, these floods were covered in that, with actual footage shot by the cameramen of the day, of course the closeups were done in studio, but the rest was actual footage. As to the question if any one was killed in these floods, I honestly cannot answer that, But I do remember seeing signs in our local movie theatre taking up a collection for the family one of the camermen of the Maitland flood, so I suppose there was at least one death that I can recall.

I was on the last rain through Maitland and we just made it out

Idiocy is not dead.

old times man

Did anyone die in the 1955 Maitland floods

one of those houses under water could have been my house, the roof was full of flood mud, originally from downtown Maitland, and relocated into Telarah

My dad was on a bender at his mum and dads in Kurri Kurri on leave after coming home from the Korean war and was ordered to join in the rescue and clean up operations

Where about dare you at the base

WOW!! shocking!!

Nice work there and with the visiting Aggressors too. Is that from fighter world or next to that plus maybe on a ladder for that elevation? Cheers.

Your on my recommended page

Thx. Awesome to see the action there with the USAF F16 aggressors etc

When are passengers going tk be able to ride it?

great video

G'day, Lakescan. I'm doing a music video about flooding in Inverell. It's a song written by myself (retired photographer) and my son (high school teacher in Gilgandra). May I please have your permission to use 1-2 seconds of your footage, converted to sepia-toned black & white, to use as a cutaway in my video. I know your footage is not of Inverell, but a couple of zoomed in grabs of it could pass for any flooded country town. If you grant permission, I will, of course, include 'Lakescan' in the credits.

my dad was in the RAAF and was part of the clean up...he said it was horrendous.

That image of Diffey interviewing Tander after the race was the end for US viewers (F1 Suzuka was next). Mike Joy called the race from a window out Murray's and even Aussie race fans preferred Joy's final laps over Matt White's. News Anchor versus Club Racer.

My Mother's Family (Lanham) lived on Campbells Hill and my father's family in Louth Park.........often my parents tell me about driving the Cabs out of town before the floodwaters hit.............my mum is now 89, and my father is deceased....The shot at 8.37 shows trains at Maitland Station to this day (2017) NSW Railways still denies that trains were caught up in the 1955 flood

Ah Forbes, always getting flooded.

I lived in one of these streets, Wolf Street Maitland just behind Maitland hospital . Next to Hampton Court. My mother who was Colleen Scully-Scullthorpe and her family were all stuck in this flood. My mum is now 83.

My mother was in this flood she has shared many frightening and sad memories of it.

Thanks for putting on my aero facebook page, great video.

Lovely to see this after we've been twice.

Talk about a dream job...

An excellent slideshow.

dude man!

Well designed, with this in mind.
