not sure which trip the pictures of the army duck were taken as i was pretty young. they went all over with it mainly blasting decommissioned jettys with it. remember arno bay, pennisure and along with others. that could be wallaroo silos by the look of it but not sure they did drop the old wallaroo jetty . i remember it driving off the Berri ferry landing once and cruizing the Murray River. as a kid i thing they were all a bit merry that day. lol
