A story with a happy ending

Avatar

One of our mates is in New Zealand at the moment, having a mad time in all that POW.
He lost his Gopro the other day and was totally devo, luck was on his side when asked at the ticket office, someone had found it and handed it in.

When he was watching the footage, the dudes that found it had shot a park run each first before handing it in.

Warning, this contains skiing, but the guys rip and are legends.

Kudos to these guys. Good karma is on their way shaka

Would have been amazing if you could have the battery life and the setup to take a photo every hour for that whole time. Make an amazing time lapse.

The part that utterly shocked me about this one was:
“China Airlines is offering Scallan an all-expense paid trip to Taiwan to retrieve her camera. The woman is one week into a new job and is unsure whether she’ll be able to go.”
I’m sure your boss will understand!!! What a lucky woman!

I have found a few phones and cameras on the hill over the years. Always take selfies and pics of dunny’s before handing them in.

One day we found one on the Big D, when I got to the bottom, I was sussing the pics out and looked up, the girl in the images was standing three meters away from me. Didn’t even now she had lost her camera. smile


My cousin bought a car years ago. Not long after getting it, they did a road trip around Tassie. When he got home he pulled the back seats out to clean the carpets, found a SD card. Bungs it in the computer, the people who owned the car previously (from Melbourne) had down pretty much the exact same road trip.

The best bit was when the lady was having a spa with the awesome view of Cradle Mountain enjoying a few glasses of bubbles. As she drank more, she revealed more and more to her husband who was taking the pics. LOL

We all had a good perv and laugh smile
