What is the biggest six you have seen hit whilst physically being at a cricket ground?

I saw this T20 match (the ground was behind my school!), I think it was the first domestic T20 tournament in England …one of the sixes Symonds hit must have been over 150m…it was flat and around 20-30m in the air…but it just kept going and ended up well out of the cricket ground. Our school used to play this ground….and it had a 400m athletics strip around it…so you could roughly tell how far a batsman hit a ball. The biggest six I saw a school kid hit was around 65m…Symo’s six was easily twice the length of that one.
I remember thinking, this man is going to be the next big ball thumper of world cricket…enter Symo into the 2003 world cup, and my predictions came to fruition :).
I saw Yuvraj hit a biggie against England in the recent T20 WC at Lord’s….it was high and handsome…but nothing compared to this one.

Simon O’Donnell hit 2 consecutive 6’s that landed on the roof of a grandstand in a ODI against England at Sydney in 1987, there weren’t many back then that could hit the ball as hard as SOD

North Sydney oval, Johnny Hastings facing Cutting from Tas. Johnno hit the ball about 50 foot above the sight screen onto the second landing of the grandstand, through the opening and onto the road.
We never found the ball only a guy in a BMW wanting to know who the F### was going the pay for the dent in his bonnet.
I do remember seeing Bob Cunis hit a ball into driver ave, but I was only about 7 and cricket to me then was just funny little white dudes running around looking like mad chooks.
