Loud bangs south of Gungahlin?

Yeah it is probably a waste of time trying to troll you lot because you are too busy stuck in traffic driving to & from work to respond.

You guys must have great community spirit living in such close quarters to each other. I’m just jealous because of how lonely my family gets living on our big block we got cheap in an established suburb with proper roads that are not covered in parked white commodores.

Seriously, those houses are so close together you could run down any street jumping from roof to roof. After all there is only what 80cm between each house.

I know – it’s ridiculous – spending all that money building a nice (although shoddily-constructed) 4-BR house and sticking it on a worthless little postage-stamp sized bit of sheep paddock like that. What is wrong with people?

It was probably the sound of two next door neighbours opening their laundry doors at the same time and smashing into each other.

Or someone trying to fit a bin down the side of their house and having it bang into the wall and fence at the same time.

What?? Crown jewels of Canberra??
Are you accusing Gungahlians of being dicks?

I farted. I’m sorry really about that, but all this attention being brought to it is making me embarrassed.

What have you been eating, boy? I assume you’re a boy, because although ladies fart, most of them don’t boast about it.

Nobody important, then?

Makes sense- they did seem very regularly spaced. Cheers!

I was riding around Yarramundi Reach at the time. The bangs in question came from the GG’s joint (I could see the smoke rising after each bang). Being curious about their provenance, and also to make sure it wasn’t something riotously untoward, I counted them as I rode along. There were twenty one bangs in all, leading me to think it was a twenty one gun salute. I also saw some cops on Commonwealth Ave preparing to block the intersection the other day, presumably for a motorcade of sorts. Putting two and two together, I’d say there’s a dignitary of some description in town and they were treated to a bit of pomp and ceremony from some chaps in very nicely pressed uniforms.

I was in Palmerston about 11 and heard nothing. There is supposed to be a burn off at Franklin today, but I can’t imagine that loud noises would have anything to do with it.

Just another gunfight between rival gangs in the Gungahlin Favela.

The burn off is just to the north of us, so I’m assuming it was something separate making the noise.

Hmm, probably not related, just saw this http://region.com.au/big-burn-near-franklin-today/81359

I was driving home along Horse Park drive at about 11:15 and wondered what the big plume of smoke was coming from somewhere near Gungahlin. The smoke drifted right over Harrison. Wonder if it’s the same thing?
