ADF

Initial interview today 11.30, the first of several steps. The outcome could be one of three possibilities: proceed to next step; come back in 12 months; or the applicant is unsuitable due to aptitude, medical or other reasons.

Afternoon update: The result of the four hour interview is 'proceed to next step' which is a fitness test involving running, push ups and sit ups. Training may be needed to get to the required level of fitness.

Camped tonight at Myrtle Park. Ben's campsite has two neighbours: one is a highly-decorated (presumably medals and not tattoos) former navy diver who likes to tell stories, the other is a drunkard who claims to have a million dollars that will fortuitously come his way in the new year.

The compass pictured, like all compasses, points north. Ben's contemplating a return to the mainland sometime; perhaps a stay at Benalla and then travels further north into warmer climates.
