Spent some time up in Wyalkatchem previous years and loved every bit of it. Absolute awesome shots.

When I was up there, talk was they are to receive the ex Kalgoorlie CP. Did this every happen?

My sources indicate they had an old Mazda light pumper (LP-99) which was replaced by the HSR (HSR-29).

yeah i thought so as i remember the Series 3 at workshops and there is 3 steps to get into the truck due to the size of it. they look impressive but have heard they only have 1400L of water. i would think bigger truck more water like 2000L as its ment to be a 2.4HSR

oh well ya get that
