Flying a Hilo around Sydney, and as I left, I saw this thing.

Maybe a huge cardboard box?

Whatever this unknown object might be it looks about ready to collapse. I wouldn't try landing on it. ::)

It's obvious.

Aussies don't have garden sheds. It's where they all keep their barbies during the winter.

Its Brensecs secret lair wherein he hides all his Vegemite and Victoria Bitter. Land on it at your peril! I've seen him in a P-40 and there isn't a helicopter that could not only escape his wrath, but the brown fizzy tarmac like explosion :o

Ozzy ;D

That is strange, but then I've noticed that in Fs2004 there are alot of bridges either missing or misplaced, or that dont span across what their supposed to.

Like this bridge that stops & ramps down to the water.
This is located just a few miles south of Kitty Hawk. Ya cant see in this shot but it was supposed to span across and connect to a road.

Heh, geuss ya just have to park & swim to get across eh? ::)

I got a closer look in better light, it's a covered walkway.

It's just the way the shadows are in that shot that kinda fools the eye, there's a conrete walkway under it, it's like an awning over the walkway.

A covered walkway...that ends in a field. Now that makes sense LOL
Imagine the big Sydney chief explaining to the people why he thought it necessary to spend $2.000.000 building a contraption to keep them cool (or dry) when they want to take a walk to the fields near the river.

;DLol, I thought the same, but then upon further investigation it looks from some different perspectives to be a rather LARGE parking lot as seen from overhead:
Image

Methinks though that MS's artist's kinda did the colors a bit off but it's a parking lot though. From here you can see too
Image

And from here parked you can see the walkway underneath.

Well...that's one parking lot they could do without. One (nice) car, room for another 4500 or so. LOL
Time and season set to  sunday morning 0600am perhaps? Otherwise the big man still has a lot to explain to his citizens ;D
