Navy found a convenient waterfront venue to stage Navy Day in
Canberra last month A large crowd converged on Commonwealth Place,
which is on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin.
There were a series of displays involving a Sea King helicopter,
clearance divers, HMAS Harman sailors and Australian Naval Cadets.

demonstrations and games of noughts and crosses with a submerged
diver in a tank.
