Multiple volunteers paged this morning for a 12 hour shift in a land search at Paney Station. I think this is in the Gawler Ranges area.

CFS received stop call for the search via R6HQ at 1130

OK serious question...one wonders if I will get a serious answer from this forum...or just more baiting..... :-D    8-)

Some SES Units will have pre-made boxes that they swap into vehicles for land search (eg compasses, welfare, tents, maps, pencils, vertical, water, etc) which would not ordinarily be in the vehicle. Which boxes go in and which go out is dependant on the search area and information given.

With the distance that some of the CFS trucks would be potentially travelling to this search location, would you empty some water out of the truck to make it travel lighter ?

Pipster:
Wudinna is right next to the Gawler Ranges, - much closer than the bulk of the SES units that were called, so speed is not of the essence in this case.

Also, I reckon some of the appliance will travel more comfortably full then empty.....(or worse, half full!)

There were a number of pager messages last night, warning of a potential search today.

pfft, out there, if you dump 2000 Litre's of water...you'd get shot.
