KierenConnell:Well i dive where ever i can but my closest spot is Edithburgh.
Yea those temps are a normal day around here nothing new!
El Alamein Camp is not baxter detention center, El Alamein Camp is still there and still used as well as Woomera, thats where they test their bombs because it is an open firing range and they also have international war games.
Yep they have the Giant Cuttle Fish, Whyalla is a good spot to go to see them especialy during breading season (Dont ask when that is)

Ah right you are then. How close by is it? It looked right it was right next door on TV. Must freak the asylum seekers out hearing HE rounds going off all hours of the day & night.
We used to live fire over there a fair bit when I was in Mortar Platoon. Cultana was one of the few places we went where we could actually see our fall of shot from the baseplate position, otherwise here in Tassie, both training areas are pretty hilly and very very thick bush, so at best you'd see a bit of smoke rising above the treetops, especially when we once live fired white phos and started a humungous bushfire.
Went to Woomera on an Ex too....what a craphole....we thought Cultana was bad but it seemed almost like rainforest compared with Woomera, just brown clay and dried up salt lakes everywhere you went and flat as a tack, no bull****, we had one 1:25000 map that had maybe four contour lines on it; we could see the lights of Roxby Downs at night from there. And naturally, just to make life awkward, the Ex Area was at the conjoining point of four maps, quite frequently, we'd be on one map, observing "enemy" activity on another map, with our main force on yet another.
Still millions of flies - where do they come from and just what the hell do they eat?
Do you work at the minesite?
