DJI Inspire drone chasing RC Plane at Wacol over Kangaroos
I went down to see the popular RC field near the Wacol Prison.
We had the place to ourselves apart from a few hundred kangaroos until an RC Plane Pilot rocked up and wanted to play.
It was 4pm so the sun was quite hard after the cloudy morning.
Boggo Road Gaol - Brisbane, Australia (Daylight)
Boggo Road Gaol was a notorious and heritage-listed, Australian prison located in Dutton Park, an inner southern suburb of Brisbane, Australia. The site is the only surviving intact gaol in Queensland that reflects penological principles of the 19th century. For many years it was Queensland's main prison.
The first cell block opened on 2 July 1883, and over the years many other buildings came and went on the site. In 1903 a prison was built to hold female prisoners. This later became known as the No.2 Division, and is now the only prison building still standing. The 'No.1 Division' built in 1883 was the scene of 42 hangings, including the hanging of Ernest Austin in 1913—the last execution in Queensland. A new prison was built around the perimeter of No.1 prison during the 1960s and No.1 prison was demolished. No. 2 Division was closed in 1989. No. 1 division was closed in 1992 and was demolished in 1996 (a small section of what was C5 and guard tower still remain). A modern (by 1960's standards) prison for women operated adjacent to this site until 2000 and was demolished in 2006.
Notable prisoners include:
Hon. Gordon Brown, a former President of the Australian Senate
John Andrew Stuart and James Finch, the Whiskey Au-Go-Go murderers
Arthur 'Slim' Halliday, murderer and escapologist
Nathan Jones, actor and professional wrestler
Patrick Kenniff, also known as Queensland's last bushranger.
Debbie Kilroy, prisoner rights activist, founder of Sisters Inside
Craig Petersen, heavyweight boxing champion
Michael Peterson, Australian surfing legend
Ellen Thompson, the only woman hanged in Queensland
Wayne Michael Ryan, convicted multiple bank robber who escaped Boggo Road Gaol twice, in 1988 and 1989.
