G'Day Maxie!
Well, lets see. There's Mine, There's Tony's, There's the yellow one with the Russian flag on it (previously posted), Plus 2x F60L's on one farm, Plus one cab on the same farm... That's 5 1/2.
As a percentage of human population, I'd say that's pretty high...

So Ganmain (former centre of the cab 12 universe) is running neck and neck with Yass (current centre of the cab 12 universe). The tension is electric

And another contender is Jim Bennie with five (2 are just partial cabs)...

I gotta go with Howard here, especially if we're counting 12-cab per local population base! Yass would be a close second methinks...

If we're scoring on the basis of "Per-Capita" cab 12's, I think Mike picked the winner. Although Truscott might have a transient population of oil-field workers, the trucks themselves are nearby at a locality called West Bay, population, 2 Crocodiles!

No wonder there seem to be more CMPs being found in Australia than any where else their using aerial reconnaissance to find them.

Speaking of CMPs per capita does anybody have an idea which country has the most known CMPs per capita?

Cheers Phil
