The opportunity to get a close look at, or in some cases inside, military equipment was a feature of the day. The departure of an Army MRH-90 Taipan also drew a huge crowd, as did the 2nd Combat Engineer Regiment explosive device search demonstration. “It would’ve been an interesting experience for the soldiers doing it in front of so many people, but they’re all professionals and they treated it like a normal section attack.” I think the crowd got really stuck into it and there were plenty of cheers when we secured the enemy position, so that was great to see,” he said. Lieutenant Nishant Khisty, of 8/9RAR, said it was great to see the audience enjoying the display. Navy took part, as did Air Force, with a C-27J Spartan fly-past proving to be a crowd favourite.Ī section attack from 8th/9th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (8/9RAR), and Military Police Dog demonstration by the 1st Military Police Battalion were also major drawcards. Units from across Gallipoli Barracks delighted the crowds with dynamic and static displays demonstrating Army’s capabilities. About 18,000 people from south-east Queensland registered to attend for the Gallipoli Barracks Open Day at Enoggera on May 20. ![]()
