It was great, to be honest. We went on a ten-hour trip overnight. It was literally a civilian catamaran, which they used to use. The ferry crossing in Tasmania, painted grey, still had the seats, the televisions, then it had a bar, didn't have any alcohol in it, but had a bar, and it was as if we were doing a ferry crossing but in this nice comfortable thing with the armoured vehicles underneath where normally the cars and things would go.

So yeah, we just loaded our armoured vehicles in there and whatever we could put in there and just went straight across and it was ferrying back and forth constantly.
