David came out and got some more shots of our event, Belco is a bit hectic for him but the other Dave got the shot below. Dude eventually nailed one higher than that.

Yeah he did go higher, towards the end after another few Coopers (popular beer amongst the crowd to go with the Mullets, and herbal glaucoma medication) and landed it. Was pretty cool to see, we were standing right where they launched up, this photo was taken as the 'Thong' had fallen off the fishing rod line and was being attached again to ensure the competition was 'legal'
The whole culture is a 'vibe' in that moustaches, flat straight pants that are just above the ankles, horizontal or bland colours are in and retro styled shoes are back in, and drinking an 'older beer' such as VB, Coopers etc is the go. Big bulky pads on the outside of pants and the stack hats with the ear covers also made an appearance.
Even the film cameras, SLR and actually film had been rolled out.
