I managed to grab some great pics of the helicopters filling up.

Where were they filling up? They were heading SE from the fire straight over our house. Best I can figure is the Swan!?

Some lake near the fire. I saw it start when I was at work and went hunting scanner and camera in hand.(after work) It was off marangaroo drive, and It was rather funny these kids in the water getting soaked by the S61 and the rotor wash, also at the same time rather dangerous.

Too much politics for me. I'll stick with what I'm good at thanks.

Hmm there's a couple of small lakes in The Lakes area of Ballajura (oddly enough :-) just south of Marangaroo but that wouldn't bring them this way. Nice to hear they caught the little illegitimates (who are, of course, innocent until proven too young to prosecute)
