Re: WA Air support for NSW fires

There are two parts to this: 1. I've seen 673 on numerous video clips on the news.

Re: A loong hoselay in the Bush (Video)

You're in roughly the right area location wise.

As for making up it was a case of 'flaking' them over arms/shoulders and loading them onto trucks/PC. Mass clean, hang to dry, then roll up later. Plenty of training opportunities :)

A loong hoselay in the Bush (Video)

Re: A few images of late - *WARNING* image intense

AE - where do you want to use them? I'm updating my online galleries at the moment and properly sorting some images that have been hidden in strange folders on my computer previously. Sure I have some of your appliance.
