Video from The Herds version of "I was only 19" with the music of the original by Redgum.
Their bravery under adverse conditions rivaled the best of the U.S. Forces.

I made the mistake of going drinking with the Australian Laison Officer at Fort Lee, VA once. You are right they know how to PARTY

LTC Orlando Illi - You are about the drinking. Had some Aussie friends visit me at Long Bihn. You can't keep up with them. After a few Aussie beers (think it was Carlton, which I have been unable to find in the States), I took a nap and when I woke up, they were still going strong with no visible effects.
Got a great pair of Aussie boots made out of kangaroo hide; softest I ever seen.

LTC John Griscom - In 1983 when I was a CPT and just out of Company Command I was awarded an ASI of 51A (Research and Development) and was required to attend the Materiel Acquisition Management course at Ft. Lee VA with @ 60 other similarly qualified Captains. One of the section Leaders was an Australian Major. We had some fun times with him. He had served as a SGT in Vietnam and was a great guy - but boy could he put the beer away.
