Did anyone see a heap of tyres on the M1 over the weekend?

• Upvotes

At about midnight on Saturday night, I was driving towards Newcastle on the M1 near Holmesville/Barnsley when I came across two whole tyres on the road, one in the middle of each lane. I tried to avoid them but still clipped one and damaged my car. There were also a couple of other cars pulled over nearby, one looked like they were changing a tyre.

Then on Monday evening my partner drove past and said there were about 30 tyres and a bumper bar on the side of the road. I’m guessing the tyres have fallen off a truck or trailer.

I’ve called Transport NSW but they couldn’t tell me if it had been reported previously. I’m trying to work out whether it’s worth claiming through them or just going through insurance but I'd rather avoid paying my excess and having my premium increase.

Did anyone else come across them or happen to get dashcam footage? Or know what happened?

Has anyone used Pack and Send for a glass fronted print from Newcastle to Sydney?

0 Upvotes

Ive found an 85x60cm framed print in Newcastle and need to get it to Sydney,it has glass and no original box, so i am weighing u packandsend against asking a local framer to pack it first.
Has anyone sent a similar glass fronted piece with packandsend, and did you leave the glass in or have it removed?,mainly trying to avoid ending up with a broken frame and a mess to sort out at the other end.

THE GREAT HOT CHOOK MYSTERY.

91 Upvotes

For TWO YEARS NOW I have been trying to figure out this mystery.

I saw a lady in woolies doing the jumper hand away from body hold on a steaming hot bachelor handbag. Sticker attached. Had that shrivelled skin and condensation that says a few hours on the turnstyle. Again, still steaming.

BUT SHE WAS AT BERO WOOLIES.

They don't have a deli section never mind hot chooks. She wasnt rushing, she was with a friend doing a nornal shop.

This was at about 3:30 pm give or take on a weekday. Term time. You all know the traffic if she had bought it from warabrook or green hills at that hour. It wouldnt have the steam unless she had it in a thermo bag. But why would you take it out of that bag for a stroll round the shops esp since it was still hold it away from yourself steaming?!

It was a woolies bag. Sticker still attached and not like microwave warped or anything.

For two years now my friends and I have wondered how. If you can tell me I would be grateful.

Thank you.

Jacaranda Tree’s

28 Upvotes

On my way home from work this afternoon, I caught myself staring at all the jacaranda tree’s starting to blossom.
They reminded me of my trip to Japan at the start of the year and being able to see the cherry blossoms that were blooming. Cherry Blossoms are very popular, enough that people travel from all parts of the world to visit.
Then I started to wonder why is there no hype around jacaranda’s, they are just as amazing when they blossom. Such a beautiful prominent Purple colour!
Anyways, thought I’d reach out on here and ask where are the best jacaranda’s in Newcastle?
