Driving through Boronia Junction, Boronia, Victoria Driving through Boronia Junction, Boronia, Victoria
Posted by: smartiesplace

Video duration: 398 seconds

Just for John in England, a former Boronian who hasn't seen the Boronia Rd/Dorset Rd intersection since they put the trainline underground and cleaned up what was once a dangerous intersection. This is the intersection as approached by road, in both directions; first heading towards Ferntree Gully, then back the other way towards Bayswater.

Video duration: 386 seconds

This is Sam on the 23rd of January - having a play and romp in the garden. As you can see, his depth perception is still off thanks to the tilted head, so he misreads the area he's walking around in. But that hasn't stopped him from wanting to play!

Footage from the final race at Phillip Island, including one car that came off the track right in front of us. Just a fluke we were filming that car when it happened. A small fire started due to the hot exhaust pipe touching dry grass. Driver was ok though, thankfully.
