    Not seen this before, or at least haven't registered it before

    Maybe it's just a traditional style?

    I mean it's basically a glorified cattle trough? yes? - suppose it saves water though

    Is this technique done elsewhere?

    From the Melton Assembly Hall in Melbourne

    How old would that young girl be who got dunked twice , obviously her feet came up out of the water the first time.

    I had to put the mute on so as not to listen to that song.

    In Australia we traditionally use puddles that remain from the wet season, this fancy new trough idea is being viewed as a showy display by some.

    If it is out in the our country outback this is what they would do, go to a river and your likely to get baptized and eaten by a 14 foot Crock at the same tiime lol
