White Rock

Areas of the FOB at White Rock are starting to come down. With the departure of the training team and mentors form 51FNQR many of the facilities and tents are being packed up ready to go home.

The camp will continue to be packed away as more personnel redeploy and contractors complete their work on the sites. The camp will be completely packed by the end of the month with only the bare essentials remaining to house the rear parties.

The forward operating base (FOB) for the Squadron is located at White Rock. This area is about 7 kilometres South of Doomadgee township. Over 190 personnel will call the camp home for the next three to four months.

White Rock Camp RAP, Mess and Bear Cave

Kitchen and mess facilities provide three meals per day for all members deployed on AACAP. The Bear Cave has satellite television facilities and provides magazines, DVD's, chips and various refreshments in the evening.

Shower and Toilet Facilities

There are over 70 tents and more than 10 containerised offices, containerised toilet and shower facilities, and containerised gym. Some of the existing structures at White Rock have been utilised as office and administration areas.

Accommodation

The camp was built in around 10 days and requires three personnel to maintain the facilities and equipment. The generators and power supply require constant attention from an electrician; the toilet, shower and sewerage treatment facilities also require regular maintenance. The RAEME workshop detachment spend their day maintaining and repairing the equipment required by the construction teams.
