Can any one tell me the name of the
hill (nicknamed tit
hill) we had to run up as a form of punishment or just plain B*****y by our popular NCO's at Puckapunyal please.

'Tit
Hill' I cursed it many times. Still, that's in the past now.

I don't think it had a name, wasn't high enough!
Great spot for a run before breakfast.

Ian, only yesterday I was reading about it in Barry Heard's book
Well Done, Those Men. But took it back to the library about three hours ago! Very good book about Heard's training, his service and his subsequent health problems.
Most interesting as I was there at the same time as an AAP-Reuters correspondent.
Cheers, Tony

Whilst not knowing the area personally, the following extract may be of use:
http://pub23.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=1919376125&frmid=116&msgid=549529&cmd=show
===============================================
Looking at the map now, the only
hill with a trig point (PSM 523.237) is Mt Certainty, which would be Tit
hill and were(sp) the 25 metre ranges were located. There is another, Buckley
Hill which is one
grid square due East of Mt Certainty.
Bruces wanted to know the name of the
hill between the school of Armour and 1 AR, now the school of Artillary, and that is Mt Disappointment
===============================================
Hope that helps.
Andrew

Oh dear, that was a long time ago. Back when I was able to run let alone up that infernal
hill.
Thanks for the memory.

Blimey you blokes have good memories.
I spent time at 'S' Block in 64-65 (then went of to do a stint at Kapooka) and later back to Tobruck Barracks in 70-73. I'm flat out remembering any of the topology. Must be the CRAFT disease.
