Audio/Visual

This Page is Under Construction. Its purpose is to provide link to Audio and Visual items pertinent to our years at Duntroon and afterwards where classmates and others we knew then are featured.

1970 RMC Recruiting/PR Film. “Duntroon”

1970 ABC 4 Corners Program. “Marking Time – 1970”

1972 RMC PR/Recruiting Film. “The Profession of Arms”

2013 ABC Interview – Pete Stevens. In Oct 2013, Pete Stevens was part of a group starting out to walk the Black Cat Track in PNG. The group was attacked by a group of Raskols on their first overnight stop. Several of the porters were severely injured with one dying of his wounds. Pete and the group were repatriated out of PNG after they met up with the rescue group. The incident attracted considerable media attention and this was one of several interviews conducted. Pete and the group raised funds after their return to assist the porters and their families. A book was written about the incident and it is listed on the Bibliography page.

2018 Doco – Richard Gray. “My Amazing Brain: Richard’s War” is a documentary film made by Richard’s wife, Fiona, following his catastrophic stroke and recovery. It is well worth viewing, even if you have seen it before. And particularly so if you have seen Richard in more recent years. His recovery is “amazing” to say the least. At around the 23 min mark and again at around 35 min, there is some brief footage of Richard as a UN peacekeeper in Sarajevo several years before his stroke. Fiona continues to make documentary films and a link to her Studio9 company page is here FYI.

2020 Doco – Thai Crown Prince In Australia. A Documentary produced by the Australian Embassy in Bangkok following the ascension of the Thai Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn to the Thai throne as King Rama X. It covers much of his time at RMC and has interviews with some higher profile graduates pre and post our Cohort. There is quite a lot of footage at Duntroon. One quite fetching clip has a certain Rob Shoebridge in full voice at the top of the stairs to the Square.

A wide range of links to other Audiovisual items on Duntroon in more modern (or indeed, ancient) times can be discovered via a Google search for those so inclined. It is not proposed to include them here.
