Are you sure it was 50,000 that's a very big tanker. this image is of a 45,000 ltr tanker. i cant imagine FESA owning one of these. Please correct me if i'm wrong http://www.roadtransport.com/blogs/big- ... %20021.jpg
Hey Treenh yes it is a 50,000 litr tanker it is owened by a Hawkins transport and is contracted to DEC
from memory there approx 8 og them across W.A that are contracted through out the season i would say ata geuss that there would be 2 at Bridgetown as well

Hey Sam
Did your 3.4 have to be snatched out of a bog by an LT??? I was there on the first night too on one of the Jandakot LT's in sector 2 i think and we pulled one of the Hill's brigades 2.4 or 3.4 out, can't remember which brigade exactly. In defence of the heavies, it was impossible to get the 2.4's & 3.4's into the area that the sector commander wanted.

Yep, I think it was your LT that pulled us out. I hate the sand, its nice and rocky up here in the hills. Thanks for the hand.
Also, I think I heard 3 Helitacks turning out to a DEC fire in Yanchep today.
