"Oh man, I wish I could get a third day of updates from the lure coursing event", sighed pretty much every member of the /c/Brisbane Lamington community.
"Boy, do I have good news for you!" declared the most handsome, charismatic, and humble member of aussie.zone. "Here's not just a photo, but a video! With sound!"

Oh hell yeah!! Didn't realise it darted about to much, in my head I thought it just went in a single line.
Also, what is the heavy machinery sound I could hear during that???
You can probably hear the motorbike they use to run the lure. Some clever cookie has mounted a motorbike on a stand and replaced the back tyre with a pulley. The pulley drags the lure around the course and you adjust the speed by "riding" the motorbike.
Other clubs use an electric one, but they tend to overheat too quickly and run out of battery before the day is done. Its a fair load dragging a bit of rope around a ~500M loop via a heap of pulleys in the ground. The noise of the motorbike also gets the puppies more excited than the quiet "zzz zzz" of the electric one.
