Australia Day activities at Camp Holland

It may have been a bit cold and wet but that didn’t stop soldiers from enjoying Australia Day in Afghanistan.

The celebrations included a traditional barbeque lunch and a cricket match which saw the officers and senior non commissioned officers take on the junior soldiers. The older, more experienced team won on the day.

Aussie Rules handball and rugby passing competitions were held and an AFL marking contest proved to be a hit in the afternoon.

A volleyball tournament was also organised with teams from Australia, America, The Netherlands, Slovakia and Afghanistan. The Afghan team won this year’s title.
