In Hanno's 2nd pic, does that closest vehicle have the remains of an ARN on the driver's side of the bumper; 33041 or 37041?

In another thread on guessing Google Earth screenshots (which I can't find at the moment!), I posted these pics:

Either of those numbers would make it a very early cab 12, which would be correct looking at the early type bumper brackets with the towing eyes. Well spotted Tony! You might not be the real Tony Smith but you're a pretty good imitation for sure!

Santos Mining operate the air strip at Truscott.
They are extremely unwelcoming to visitors and will not give permission to land under normal circumstances. They quote their agreement with the aboriginal owners etc. They also claim because they "built" the strip they can do what they like. I landed there in a Supercub just before Santos went in about 20 years ago and it was still quite OK apart from numerous small trees and ant hills sticking up through the old bitumen. A day or so with a dozer would have produced an excellent surface paid for by the Australian taxpayer 70 odd years ago. People do visit the area by 4WD but it is rough and only for the dedicated.
