The report says brownouts from Subiaco through East Perth to Bayswater, but even over here in Osborne Park, we got a significant power dip at 12:17, and it's still not up to full power (excerpt from UPS log below)

Nafenn observed a couple of helitacs leaving the airport just before this advice was posted, departing towards the north-west... Now we know where they were goingJem wrote:Helitacs have been activated.

How far north of swanbourne surf patrol was it?
Re: Other incidents/minor fires etc - 2009/2010
the tower at swanbourne could see the smoke/fire, and it was called in by swanbourne foot patrol who could also see the tower so im guessing only a few hundred meters (didnt hear the initial call come in, only bout 30sec in to the conversation onwards as i had the radio down low)
as for the location of the club, im not sure, never been there before. i heard it on the radio on the way to my own club for patrol this arvo, gave surfcom something to do though

I found Swanny Nedlands SLSC with the google so I guess it was North of there in the dunes, possibly very close to the married quarters. Risky spot to be doing that. The dunes would have been crawling with cruisers on a day like today.

Drove past a big crash last night on the way home approx 10:30pm.
Two Cars - completley demolished Traffic Light at Tonkin Hwy and Armadale Rd.
SJA I believe would have left before we drove past, FRS Pump and LT (old Mazda type?) using hose reel for a smouldering vehicle.
