crew of HMAS Fremantle

Thrills and spills on the Tully River - that’s what the crew of HMAS Fremantle

enjoyed recently before heading to the Solomon Islands.

Taking the opportunity to have some fun during a logistics visit before deploying for Op Anode, the Darwinbased crew took to the Cairns hills and the brisk water of the Tully River.

Split into three boats, the all-day rafting adventure proved to be both a great team-building experience for the crew as well as a huge amount of fun as our photo shows.

In the boat are, left column, from back to front, boat coxswain Ally, SMNMT Toby Wilkes, PONPC Martin McCutcheon, CPO Steve Dodd and right column, from back to front CO HMAS Fremantle LCDR Ainsley Morthorpe, ABBM Clinton Murphy and LSET Aaron Tierney.
