Oh you think so do you.
Well it happened in 1993 floods at Langhorne Creek when Mt Lofty Training Centre 24 suffered the same fate in the Main Street....I was a passenger in it :wink:

Pictures of it can be seen in Burnside's video :wink: Nice one Woody

No, it was a case of the road had the base eroded away by the floodwaters leaving no dirt under the bitumen so a bit of weight and SPLASH...the rest is history
