Australian, Chinese and American soldiers have been conducting team building activities at Larrakeyah Barracks in Darwin before tackling the harsh Northern Territory outback on military survival Exercise Kowari 16. The participants also visited local zoo, Crocodylus Park, to learn about crocodiles, snakes and other native Australian wildlife they may encounter. Exercise Kowari 16 will see ten soldiers from each country learn about basic survival principles, techniques and equipment from the Australian Army’s survival training experts – NORFORCE - before putting their new skills to the test on their own in the remote outback. This is the third time Exercise Kowari has taken place and marks an important milestone in defence cooperation between the three nations.
