Some pictures of the Cape Preston Accommodation Dongers located at Camp 123. Camp 123 is what they call a Hotbeds camp which means that you get a different room each time you come back from R&R.
Cape Preston Accommodation Dongers
Most dongers at Camp 123 are solid steel which can be used as a cyclone refuge. If you get placed in a donger which is not cyclone proof, you will have to proceed to the Dry Mess (The Dining Room) if a Red Alert is announced (unless prior arrangements have been confirmed).
Cape Preston Accommodation Dongers
Dongers are air conditioned and equipped with:
- Single Bed.
- Small Fridge.
- Robes and Drawers.
- En Suite with shower, toilet, sink and power point.
- A TV with cable and local channels.
- A small bench for your laptop computer.
- A network plug (RJ45) to plug into your computer for internet access which is not yet hooked up.
Every two days the dongers serviced by being cleaned, the bed linen is changed, and your soap and dunny paper is topped up.
Camp 123 Swimming Pool
Your mobile phone will work here at Camp 123 if you are connected with the Telstra Next G Network. Your mobile braodband will also work here if your ISP is Telstra Bigpond and you have a late model Next G Wireless Modem.
Note: The Wireless Internet is good on some evenings, while other evenings it is totally crap.
If you have urgent Internet business, there is 12 internet connected network cables in the Recreation room. Make sure your notebook computer has long lasting batteries because the so called Internet Room does not have 240V power outlets. While this service is free, it is pretty slow compared to my wireless Next G Bigpond modem.
Camp 123 Gymnasium
Camp 123 has a few other facilities like Swimming Pool, Gymnasium, Recreation room with Table Tennis and 8 Ball tables. If you have an alcohol habbit, you can also wet your whistle at the Wet Mess.
