sorry champ but there is no internet access at either sam hill
or camp growl...only pay phones.the only computers there is are
used by my work(PIQ)and the obs room,major officers,and tech
team.the phone lines arent even permanantly there,we have to set
them up when we set up camp before you guys arrive......so they are
only basic phone lines.about the only time you will get acces to
the internet is when you go for your r&r.....there is internet
cafes in Rockhampton(the nearest town,about one and a half hours
drive from camp)i know it is hard for you guys....but its not as
bad as you think.by the way....you wont get mobile phone reception
there,so there is no use bringing a hand phone to use at camp.sam
hill gets reception in some places,but camp growl only has in one
place,and that is right where the drivers tents are.its almost
impossible to even find it,so its pretty much a waste of time.as
for psp and mp3's.....they are a good idea,but i'll give you a
tip.if you are going to sit in the shower blocks and have them
plugged into the power supply while your using them......when the
cleaners come in to clean the block(happens twice a day)move out of
their way as fast as you can! get all electrical appliances out of
their,because they work with high pressured hot water hoses that
wash everything away,and sometimes accidents happen.last year some
poor infantry guy didnt get out of their way,and he lost his
ngage,hand phone,mp3,and psp.the guys wouldnt listen to us,they are
not supposed to sit in the shower blocks all day.....our cleaners
have a limited amount of time to get all the blocks clean....so if
you dont listen..you'll learn the hard way.its a lot of fun
though...and i promise you that you'll meet a lot of great people!
