Call in the Local VFRS but we all got stood down by the IC as the tyres, FULL Diesel tank (400Ltrs) and Hydraulic oil tank started exploding.

Philby- Looks like there are 2 separate incidents in those pics- the dumpy is facing different directions on the pit ramp in some pics . Wouldnt be Newman as they mine iron ore- these pics are from the goldfields or murchison somewhere.
