Probably about 40 years ago a relative came round the corner on a country road in western Queensland and found the road fully blocked by a house on a truck. Was so surprised they forgot to brake and ran into it totaling car, truck and house
About the same time, my first wife and I lived in Somerset Dam. In those days there was FA there, and in Esk, Toogoolawah or Kilcoy, so we would do a once a week trip to Ipswich. Lake Wivenhoe wasn't there. We used to take what was then a back road through Bryden. There was a T intersection somewhere along there, with a brick house on one of the corners.
Well, in those days the trip home was measured as one six pack, and Fi and I also liked a little something else. We were coming home in the dark and arrived at the T. There, on the opposite corner, was another house, with lights on and a couple of people sitting at the table having a cuppa! To say we were discombobulated is an understatement.
Of course, it was a house being moved that had pulled up for the night, but we didn't know it at the time. Coming from Melbourne, we had no idea that this sort of thing was common in Qld.
I think it must have been in 1967, I was returning to Roma from Brisbane, along the old road through Condamine, and about 50km out of Roma, and after dark, found a vehicle coming in the opposite direction with the single headlight apparently immovably fixed on high beam.
It did not seem to be shaking as much as motorbike lights usually do, and being a narrow road, I slowed right down, as i could see little, and pulled right over to the left as far as possible. Just as well - when I got almost to them, so that the light was not completely blinding me, as I moved out of the beam, I realised that the vehicle was a very large portable oil drilling rig, about fifteen feet wide, and with the only light of any kind being a floodlight on the left hand end of the bumper!
I strongly suspect that it was being surreptitiously moved at night with minimal lighting, and without a permit, or, if they had a permit, it was for daylight only, and they had had delays.
Amazing amount of thought went into this and the final product is a testament to his skills.
