    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 Englandicon. Where in Malayasia were you based.

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

    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.
