For 2 years we went to the RMIT as full time students
Here is a group of Apprentices eagerly boarding one of the luxury buses to take us to RMIT
 
 
 

 


 
 
RMIT classes weren't always this much fun Paul Appleby and Pat Hall discuss the complexities of a modern oscilloscope.  Who was the Instructor ?

  
At lunch time we went to the "PX" for lunch. This provided an opportunity to do "other things " in the city like visit shops and meet girls.

Do you  recognise any of these faces ?


 
 
There were always opportunities to take in the scenery of Victoria St.

Here is a group of apprentices behaving in the required orderly and airmanlike manner.

 

 
 

 

Even when we weren't at RMIT we still needed to study. These blokes were enjoying the rare Melbourne sunshine. 
The one on the right appears to be using an early model cellular phone. 

 

It was always a challenge to find surroundings 
conducive to good study

 
 
                                                 When we weren't studying there were always  shoes to be cleaned. 
                                                  Here is Gronk applying a spit polish watched by Gareh, Rock Ape and Tom.

Occasionally we were able to relax in our spacious rooms, but only after the washing was done.

This is Hut 387 Room 13.
Who was the Occupant ?

There were always ablutions duties to attend to
 
 
 
 
 

 


 
And some things were more urgent than others

 
 
But most of the time we managed to have fun
 

These pictures show
