Nice! Well done with the photos there!

Someone else said there's a solar car in Forrest Place as well - haven't wandered up to have a look yet ...

I've actually had a ride in one of these before. Darwin has just got 4 new ones at over 1 million each. That monitor on top will put out around 10,000 litres in 2 minutes with a mixture of foam and water. Also carries 250kg of dry chemical powder. 6 wheel drive with BA integrated into the seats. One hell of a vehicle.

I see a FF I know there, clearly still slacking of at No.1. Lucky these photos aren't 'published' as he'd owe me a carton!

Kylep, why would he owe you a carton if these pictures aren't published? I'm the owner of these photos

Whenever you get your face in print or on TV you owe a carton. A common rule in many emergency services.

One good thing about the brigade I joined when I moved east. They enforce the rule. Although a certain politician gets excused in most cases, as do others who have to be in the media. Being the OIC doesn't excuse you though.
