Welcome 3rd. Intake Leeuwin Junior Recruits

leeuwin-photos

July 1961 saw 150 of us, the cream of Australia’s youth (that’s what they told us) make that momentous journey across the country to begin twelve months Junior Recruit training at HMAS Leeuwin on the banks of the Swan River near Perth Western Australia. We were only aged between fifteen and  sixteen and a half but men of the world.

Most of us had no idea of what we were getting  into but at least we had a job and our medical and dental was taken care of, that made the folks happy. However my experience with the dentist at Leeuwin scarred me life. There are many reminiscences that can be told and my hope is that they may appear on these pages.

Please remember to be cautious in what you post as it will be readable by all. No profanities please.

Currently the blog is self-registered but that will change if  SPAMMING becomes a problem.

Who am I? Allan “Pony” Moore, the FAT kid in Winjan who went on to become a Phot spending the 12 year enlistment in the Photographic Branch paying off as POPHOT. Promotion in the branch was non-existent with only one CPOPHOT. It took another 8 years before the next Chief was promoted. Forty seven years later I am still involved with photography but in an educational role.
