Sounds like a very good safe. Job well done by all crews.

Possibly SES flat bed trucks as a logistics deployment from Adelaide to Warooka.
Great to see all of the equipment being used to help each other & the community.
Stay safe...

Sure it wasn't Shania Crane?

This man wins. Boof the Sky Crane, big and fat, full of (not amber) liquid, but good god can it move when it needs to.

How about naming it after Mark Riccuito (The Raging Bull) :-D cause we all know that Roo had a habit of grabbing the ball and smashing through packs of players who tried to tackle him :lol:
Or even better name it after Andrew Mcleod cause he is really fast and can take off in the blink of an eye :lol:
