-
"Moonlight Hollow Road, Bendora Hill at 1520 hrs, 11:01:2003. Designed for fast working on running grassfires, or cooling down flare-ups in critical locations, water cannons are a very inefficient use of a scarce resource in remote mountainous areas and must be used judiciously in conjunction with dry fire fighting techniques"--Note from the photographer.
