AC which is on the beach, when it was due date for squadron wet winching and water drill renewal it was traditional to hold a BBQ with family while everyone took turns getting tea bagged etc Absolutely beautiful spot and wonderful days. All spoilt with development these days.
The 9 Sqn water hoisting training was at Lake Moogerah, south of Amberley. The CO would bring his ski boat, we would winch out if it and then when training was done, ski behind it and have a BBQ. Luckily there were a few straight-laced teetotallers who would fly the birds home afterwards.
