Planning a trip with the Missus over to Rotto this w/end and I'll no doubt take my camera with me.
Does anyone have any info on the Rottnest Police vehicles? I recall seeing a 4WD Rodeo cage last time I was there and from memory it was VX101.
Is this the only WAPOL car on the island??
Any info appreciated.

They have a channel 7 VKI repeater on the Island. It's usually/always linked into the Freo district.Bonez wrote:Do they have a link to VKI (eg, a repeater?) or do they just use telephones for when they need contact with the mainland and simplex for island operations?

Never saw VX101 whilst I was over there, but saw VX102 is a 4WD Mazda Bravo. It's pretty old 1[deleted]. It still has the old dome lights on the roof.
I'd love to know what VX101 is.
I'm good friends with a chap who used to be a ranger over there and he tells me they used to have a Ford Falcon paddy wagon over there!

But my point is, do you really need to post rego numbers at all? What does it add to the conversation?Tom wrote:Dear Admin,
What's the problem in posting rego's of MARKED vehicles????
I'd understand if the vehicle was unmarked but VX102 is fully marked.

Re: Rotto Police
VX101 and 102 at Rottnest are both newish Hiluxes
Re: Rotto Police
I was over there for work earlier in the year and they were both 4-5 year old Colorados, so as you say the Hilux's must be quite recent.
