The Big Slide

It is not often a city will close the main street for a giant water slide.

But this was the situation on Saturday in Toowoomba. It is a twin water slide 325meters long, running almost 2 blocks down the gentle slope of Margaret Street.
It was well supported by thousands of customers both young and old.  The entry fee included a large yellow plastic tube on which the people splashed their way down the full length.
