2x L2/225s being road transported

So, I was on my morning driving commute this morning and what do I see?

2x L2s or 225s (both were plastic/environmental wrapped and I couldn't get close enough to tell whether they were a 4 or 5 blade main rotor head) being road transported.

I am in far northern Australia and this was taken on the south bound side of the Stuart Highway. The Stuart Highway runs from Darwin in the north to Port Augusta in the south (for a total highway length of 2,834 km (or 1,761 mi / 1,574 nm)).

These L2s/225s would likely have been Darwin based and given that I encountered them only 300 km south of there, they have a long road trip ahead of them (thousands of km) to get to wherever they're going.

Somehow I don't think the environmental wrap will be coming off them for quite a while.

I have attached a very shaky photo, I apologise for the quality (or lack thereof), it was the best I could get at short notice.
