I believe this is the same incident; the date of the article is December 2011. I don't know what they ended up doing and whether those responsible were disciplined, however, the most appropriate thing to have done would be to cover over the landfill and turn it into a national cemetery with a simple monument/marker identifying those buried there.

I'm not sure I'd be able to stop grinning for a few days...whereas I would have had to change my trousers rather quickly.

Thanks for the review and recommendation; ordered. Here are two others you may enjoy: - Cruiser: The Life and Loss of HMAS Perth and Her Crew by Mike Carlton http://www.amazon.com/Cruiser-Life-Loss-Perth-ebook/dp/B004T6F04M - A Very Rude Awakening: The Night The Japanese Midget Subs Came To Sydney Harbour by Peter Grose http://www.amazon.com/Very-Rude-Awakening-Japanese-Midget/dp/1741752191/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1368461887&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=a+very+rude+awakening "Cruiser" is an excellent encapsulation of the origins and WWII history of the Australian Navy along with the compelling story of a particular ship and it's crew. I found both books intriguing in regards to the pre-war/war-time relationship between Australia and England. Both offer in-depth insights into that relationship that I hadn't seen addressed in the U.S. very well.

I've got it (somewhere) and did enjoy it a great deal; briefly. I can't recall why, but when I purchased it I was under the impression that it was a start point and that if it took off the flyable world and aircraft would expand.

Excellent. They're putting together quite the premier collection. I hope they keep adding to it.
