That's very interesting Badger and thanks for that. Just zoomed in on my old camp at Hopuhopu near Ngaruawahia!

Your old camp was in this area Peter?

Yes, that's the place. On the old Taupiri road, backing onto the Waikato river where we'd swim. Happy times as a young lad

Pete, Makes you wonder why you went back to England. Where in Malayasia were you based.

Here's another old haunt of Pete's, Pete the houses have really put a sqeeze the barracks.

[Peter Laidler]

Enoggera........... wowee, I recognised that straight away from the old, what we called, 'drill sheds'. Stirring times for a 20 year old!

[Bearclaw]

Pete,

Is that one of the ranges in the bottom left hand corner. What a great bit of Aussie history, Enoggera, light horse and the sand of the middle east and of course Pete the Pom from down in the armory.

I don't recognise that ranges as part of any of the range complex. The place is certainly being surrounded isn't it. Our Armourers shop was part of the QM's area with a volley ball court at the side.
