Operation Southern Katipo revisited

What an amazing morning we had.  Our intention was to go to the Carters Beach Playground, have a play, and a look at some of the vehicles as part of our transport unit.  We knew there would be strict security and it would be hard to see anything close up.  However as we were preparing to leave, I was approached by an army officer who offered us a tour inside the barrier! From there, we were taken over to the tanks where we were able to go inside and climb on them!  A once in a lifetime opportunity for many of us!  The soldiers were just wonderful and interacted with us so well.  Too many photos to choose from so I'm just going to post them all...

Tara, Ethan and Luke came to help us

Yes that's me popping my head out!
