. . . most of that particular Long Tan doco was shot in Papakura Camp - Dave Sabben was working in Akld so the USQ made the decision to do most of the shooting here and Papakura was the logical site for everyone with Denis & Willie still in the Army.
---Also, GPO 161 Bty at the battle was Peter Williams, so my comment [in the doco] about digging soldiers out of the CP on night 16 Aug was out of an ACV-CP at A Btry 2/35th Arty - the dreaded Eures Bty where I was the XO at the time. The film implies it was the 161 CP that was a tad crowded. Probably was, but I cannot possibly comment.
