Our experienced NCO's warned us about them. Anyone with a sheltered upbringing grew up pretty quickly there. Cheers, Paul.

G'Day Paul,
After Bandiana i was posted to 2MARS(second Mobil Ammunition Repair Section )attached to 2CAD (Second Central Ammunition Depot).based at Myambat Denman .Their were three of us in my unit a NCO and two non comms. Our job was to be up at the front fusing and defusing booms and checking all the ammunition for the artillery as well as boom disposel . Once you play with the unknown you look at life in a diffident way ,but I am still here and reaching old age the way we should
