Melville zero one was out at 1930 (heard the network open) no idea when they got back though, i know there were two jobs in palmyra though but i assume they were quite small.

From what i could hear over radio chatter Mandurah got hit the hardest. They were using words words twice twice over over.

Re: welfare
those who are saying "we didnt get back for welfare is a load of ......"

No 1 rule- look after yourselves first- if you cant stick to this stay at home!
You are more of a risk of making mistakes if you are fatigued.

Dont wait to be asked to go in for welfare-TELL control you are coming in for welfare before you are going to do another job.

Welfare is for the weak

Until you do something stupid cause you're running out of adreneline to work on, thats why at searches the salvo's come in with their truck and provide you with food, for the couple of hours you'll work off your breakfast, if you then didn't get morning tea or lunch you'd be working off adreneline, which would go pretty quickly, eventually you'd start missing the vital clues that you should have picked up. In search it might not be dangerous except when you're driving. But when you're working at heights, and with chainsaws, it can be lethal.

Soooo whats welfare ? for a non ses fesa person

Is it along the same lines of when the fesa guys get meals at a fire ?

Welfare is basically just a food break. About 30 min to sit down, eat some food and rest
