On Thursday I will be flying out to Kapooka NSW to undergo further training for the ADF,
I was doing some research today on the ARTC website and came across some old photos of the Blamey Barracks.
Spotted a few nice fb's, ek's, ej's and some val's too.

Enjoy!

I was a bit later, 1985. Yep, coldest place ever. It's physically impossible to get enough layers of cloths on to get warm there, and weren't they all pr#@ks??? :shock:
