MOST OF YOU WILL REMEMBER THIS PLACE

An old War Memorial film of the Jungle Warfare Training centre in the hills behind the Gold Coast.

This film shows the endurance course over five miles culminating in a jump off the tower into the freezing river where divers below made sure you touched the bottom, where they fired an Owen machine gun with live rounds over our heads through the obstacle course ,while exploding charges set in the ground to give you a taste of what you might come across in South Viet Nam.
