The ADF confirmed #PrinceHarry will be given down time off-base during his stint in #Australia
---------------------------------------------
'Down time' is an understatement lol
Noosa was being touted on TV yesterday, as the place where some of Prince Harry's time off would be spent.
And in today's paper, descriptions of the Perth barracks food as being "amazing" with a "sensational" view - "right out over the ocean" - from the mess.
Also, the Prince will not have any "minders" with him, but will be with around thirty Australian "good mates", he has formed a "close attachment to", from his tours of duty in Afghanistan.
He has visited them before when here, and they've assisted MI6 in protecting him when he's been on Royal duties in Oz.
(We've just had the BBC Simon Reeve "Australia" three-part show on TV here in the last few weeks, and Simon went out on patrol with the soldiers of the Northern Territory.
Prince Harry will be given a sleeping bag when he's with these guys, but on this show, the soldiers just laid down on the ground for the night, so he may not use it I think.
Their tanks were demonstrated on Simon's show too - won't be suprised to see photos/video of Prince Harry in these - something else to see these things move.)
