Yep Darlington Oval on Pine Terrace
and I'm guessing for Roleystone it's at Cross Park on Jarrah Road.

Close, but you need to head up the road a little further. They've been nice to the crews and located both right near fire stations so they have some recline facilities.

I noticed in one of Tyranus's pics
http://warsug.info/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7990 that Darlington Support was donated by Hamerlsy Iron. Was it an ex mine vehicle?

I went and had a look (took the 4 kids) and got some good pics.
Got to go inside and have a look and talk to the pilot.
Very nice man and very helpful.

Two Helitacs just flew over my house leaving from the airport?
I think they're 668 and 669
Does any one know if they are heading to the Dandaragan fire or is it another one?

I i think the flowing is correct, but still not sure where 668 and 669 are heading? (think Dandaragan fire as they're were heading in the same direction/flight path as 610)
Several Fires have been report around Toodyay Area
Helitac 682 heading over
Dandaragan fire
Air Attack 610 at Dandaragan, being requsted for Toodyay Fires
Fixed-wing water bombers at Dandaragan
