Australian Army Cadets from across Western Australia took part in the annual field exercise at Bindoon training area, north-east of Perth, from 24 September to 2 October 2016.
The annual youth development activity saw more than 700 cadets participate in a range of activities encompassing minor team sports, adventure training and non-combat related military skills aimed to develop abilities in leadership, navigation and teamwork.
Australian Army Cadets are encouraged to develop new skills and face new challenges that will help define them for the future.
Australian Army Cadets is a leading national youth development organisation with the character and values of the Australian Army, founded on strong community partnership, fostering and supporting an ongoing interest in the Army.
