Barracks Week At Waimea College

Here's a wee memory test for you older blokes. Remember your cadet training, and barracks week? All the square-bashing and the "one, two three, one two three, one"? Well, we have discovered there's still some of it, but oh, what a change! Now there's rock climbing and overnight biwie building, sailing in the harbour and living off the land etc at Torrent Bay. Home was never like this! But that's what various units of the cadet corps at Waimea College were doing when we visited the college in barracks week.
