What a week it's been, and an amazing experience travelling to Kunnanarra WA via Darwin to install our custom fabricated Colville Self-priming 24" inch irrigation pump which we were commissioned to build last wet season. With a very narrow window of opportunity with the impending storm season, we were contacted on the Tuesday morning and were headed to Melbourne that afternoon for our early morning flights Wednesday. This pump was built and transported up 12 months ago, however due to floods and weather conditions we have only just got the call up to install it. The pump is powered by a Cummins 6 CTA engine, self-priming and capable of handling heavy trash loads which is critical with all the debris and potential wildlife that it will surely encounter 🐊. Matt and myself had the privilege to be flown up to an amazing station called 'Legune', which is over 300,000 ha. and situated right amongst the Kimberly's. A few crocs were seen and we managed to squeeze in a spot of barra fishing and also the sights of Kunnanarra and Darwin. Thankyou to the whole crew or workers and management team of Legune for there assistance and providing us with this experience and hospitality.
