Pete, those pic's would be the Singleton/Putty region.
I have a heap of live fire pic's not yet converted to digital, a lot of super 8 film, will get to it one day.
Camera's were a nono but my days with FARELF had me carrying one all the time, had some footage confiscated when the Brigade Commander and his pilot clipped power lines in a KIOWA on one exercise.
As to pukka, nothing changes, tanks still get bogged and the Aussie Hardwood trees crack the hulls of Leopold tanks.

Thanks for that and good to speak.. Cameras were a BIG no-no in Malaya and SVN. We occasionally had the Army KAPE teams (KAPE = Keep the Army in the Public Eye) come around our units. I think it was a pommy idea originally where they'd take a few pictures of the blokes - usually the good looking Nashos - and asked where they lived. The next week or so, Privates Morrow and Gillis, Nashos from Lismore or Ipswich would be in their local paper for their sins. BUT the WO assisting the KAPE teams would make sure that there was nothing that shouldn't be there in the photos.
