'Bullwinkel', an episode of 'Mike Willesee's Australians' stars Rachel Ward as Vivian Bullwinkel, a volunteer nurse in WWII. Vivian, while being evacuated after serving in Singapore in 1942, had her ship sunk by the Japanese. She and a handful of survivors were captured, ordered back into the water where they were machine gunned. Vivian feigned death before creeping into the jungle. There she met Private Kingsley, who was barely alive, suffering horrific bayonet wounds. After ten days of nursing Kingsley in the jungle, they gave themselves up. This is where the episode ends. The real Kingsley eventually dies from lack of treatment and Vivian was to spend three years of incredible hardship as a Japanese prisoner of war. Rachel describes Vivian as one of the true heroes of our recent past.A newspaper clipping consisting of a title, four columns of text and two black and white photos.

This is a set of 14 photographs of an All-Staff meeting held by the lake at the Army Survey Regiment, Fortuna, Bendigo on the 24th of April 1994. At this meeting CO LTCOL Duncan Burns announced that under Defence’s Commercial Support Program (CSP), the In-House bid submitted in 1993 by a team led by then CO LTCOL Bob McHenry was successful. The In-House bid proposed the establishment of an organisation based at Fortuna to carry out non-core production with 150 of the 373 Survey Corps positions converted to Defence civilian positions. 110 of the Defence civilian positions would be filled voluntarily by military personnel under Section 81B of the Public Service Act 1992 with the remaining 40 positions filled by Public Service recruitment. Other options offered to Survey Corps personnel were postings to 1st Topographic Survey Squadron in Enoggera, QLD, transfer to another Corps in the Australian Army or discharge from the ADF. The In-House bid also proposed 143 Survey Corps military positions to remain at Fortuna to perform ‘core strategic non-sovereign tasks.’ However, Army subsequently decided to abolish the 143 positions, disband 4th Field Survey Squadron, Adelaide, SA and lastly, the demise of the Royal Australian Survey Corp in June 1996. This period of the Army Survey Regiment’s history is covered in more detail in pages 160 to 162 of Valerie Lovejoy’s book 'Mapmakers of Fortuna – A history of the Army Survey Regiment’ ISBN: 0-646-42120-4.This is a set of 14 photograph of an All-Staff Meeting held at the Army Survey Regiment, Fortuna, Bendigo on the 24th of April 1994, to announce the success of Army’s Defence’s Commercial Support Program (CSP) In-house Bid.
