Ha! Ha! They were wrong!!!…

Once again the big crowds gathered and the strongman also. Garned with traditional Scottish kilts we took to the field, five “stones of strength”, the biggest weighing 165 kg for us. “A Reckoning” Mike Sidonio made a determined and solid effort but faltered with the last stone. Craig Read the strongman from Newcastle went better…

Just Practicing, pulling a 20 tonne REX Plane at Albury Airport. I’m looking for something much bigger! Stay Tuned.

I love Albury Wodonga because of it’s strong community support. During a recent plane pull I was helped out by no other than the mayor herself Patricia Gould. She was great and she didn’t mind getting her hands dirty with some hard work. She is considered a treasured member and leader of the Albury Community.
