When I was in scouts we had a Jamborette at Macksville showground. Pretty good turnout too.
There was a challenge for the building of a rope bridge, the win to be awarded on the basis of how many
scouts could occupy the bridge without the bottom rope touching the ground.
There were two crucial elements to this construction: excellent knot work. including the use of what is now
commonly referred to as a "truckie's" knot and a bloody good 3;2;1 holdfast.
Well, the bridge our troop built withstood every test thrown at it. Every other bridge collapsed!!
I have always, ever since then placed great faith in the use of ropes for construction purposes.
Whoever the cretins are who are responsible for the laws in Queensland should have their gonads placed in a bear trap!
I wonder if some firm has made money from the implementation of this law. Or is that being cynical??

I agree it is not the role of the police
and 'ignorance of the law is not a defence'
however it is the role of government - because for some reason they have changed the law
it is also the role of your local automobile association
PS it seems to me that some twit has thought up definitions of 'secured load' as a result of some horrific accident involving a load which shifted
a typical overreaction by any government of the day!Last edited by Sawdust Maker; 2nd September 2013 at 09:26 PM. Reason: add PS
