Default AWM Film

F07242 film has some interesting equipment on show. I see a jeep, a hand cart and a AWA Wireless set No 19 (WS19) Mk II (Aust.) in use, plus Ford V8 gene sets..

Appears to be a sunk ship in the harbour, possibly of Japanese origin.

The three vessels line abreast look to be this type of army work boat. One of these class of vessels was still in use with the State govt. department Parks Victoria in 2012 !
