Here is some of the photos I managed to take while taking a rest..... err waiting I mean. I didn't get the camera out when all the action was going as I had to play with the hose!!!! I hope you enjoy a bit of flame in these photos

Mt Helena's new V8 LT, They were running around doing sector commander stuff.

Great Photos

The one with your new light tanker is my favorite.
Did you see the dozer get bogged? It had sunk down near the creek/highway. They had to get a excavator in to dig it out.

Brilliant pics again Helitak. Amazing clarity and colour rendition. Keep up the good work (with the hose and the camera

).

Must have been the day for dozer operator errors.

At the same time at the mandogolup fire the dozer operator left the dozer running at the same time as locking himself out and losing teh keys. Spare set had to come from armadale

Looks like you guys have a UHF CB, or Council radio in the LT?

All new light tankers come with a UHF antenna and GPS antenna between the beacons in preparation for WAERN.

Does that mean we can call them "Dozey Dozer Drivers"?

While that was probably intended as a joke, it wasn't particularly funny considering the potential accusation. I have a digital camera with me most of the time. I even have it now while I'm at work. While it's not that big, I generally take it with me. I expect that this is similar with all other people that take photographs and post them on here.
