I worked with....

Gurkha 69(F) Field Squadron.... they stay up our mountain, a team of gurkha divers who cut the kelp in Byron sound to allow the oil tanker to get close enough to pipe diesel up the mountain! Brilliant guys, the best workers/hardest I've ever met!!

The RIC whilst I were there were the black watch....f**king monsters!!!!!!
