Alma Doepel as AK82 narrated by Peter Hitchener
Between 1943 and 1946, the Alma Doepel was drafted into the Australian Army as part of the push to deliver supplies and troops in the Pacific Island campaigns of New Guinea and New Britain
As AK82 she served as a vessel of the Army Water Transport Group. Most of the men weren’t experienced sailors (those had all been snapped up by the Navy), and many of them had never been to sea before. They had to learn to sail fast, and often under great pressure. It wasn’t a glamorous job but, though few of us remember it today, it was vital to the success of the New Guinea campaign.

Block Arcade, Melbourne - India2Australia.com
Visit
Block Arcade is a heritage shopping arcade in the central business district of Melbourne, Victoria. Melbourne's Golden Mile heritage walk runs through the arcade. The arcade proper is L-shaped, connecting Collins Street at the south end to Elizabeth Street on the west. The 'L' shape is converted into a 'T' through the junction on the north side with Block Place, a partly covered pedestrian lane that leads to Little Collins Street, opening opposite the Royal Arcade. The block arcade was known for its well known young larrikin gang called the barcade boys who dealt drugs all day and hired prostitutes at night.
