Photos of Perenties In Service

[Dervish]

In an effort to assist all Perentie owners in finding out about their vehicle during it's life in the ADF, I propose that we start up a thread showing these old tractors during service. Obviously photos already up on REMLR don't really need to be put here again  The hope is that this will last as a kind of museum to the service life of the Perentie; maybe the first private owners of the vehicles won't care about it's former life - but chances are someone eventually will!

Format is something along these lines of:

Comment: The river bed at Moolooo Downs proves to be softer than expected when the land rover was bogged during a treck across the terrain. The Australian Army Band Perth (AAAB-P), in conjunction with the Joint Logistics Unit-West (JLU-W) conducted Exercise GASCOYNE ASSIST over the period 17-25 July 2011. The activity involved the provision of assistance involving flood recovery operations personnel in the Gascoyne Region with a focus on MOOLOO Downs. The assistance provided by both Navy and Army consisted of fence construction, cattle yard construction, cleaning/removal of mud from outbuildings, general clean up and asset/material recovery from the flood plains. MOOLOO Downs was one of the worst affected stations, after the flood of December 2010, succumbing to a meter of water in all buildings, the first time the water has been recorded breaking the banks of the creek in over 100 years. MOOLOO Downs has had no government or voluntary recovery assistance to date. (Photo: Australia DoD)

Comment: A six-wheel drive Land Rover infantry mobility vehicle from the International Stabilisation Force’s Anzac Infantry Company rattles over a steel bridge on the way into the town of Emera. On board are troops from 1 Section, on their way to conduct a regional patrol in Emera. Mid Caption: In February 2011 it was the job of 1 Platoon of the International Stabilisation Force’s Anzac Infantry Company to patrol the Emera district, located to the southeast of Dili, using the ISF compound in the town of Gleno as a patrol base. The troops were tasked with conducting patrols across the district, visiting each sub-district to gauge how things are operating, such as local government, police and public services.

Thanks for the posts and information all.  If you can, could you post the photos as large as you can find them so I can try and confirm ARN's where they are difficult to see. Keep them coming, many are new photos to the archive.
