Nambus visits college

Year 10 students at Brisbane Water Secondary College enhanced their study of Australian History recently when the Nambus visited the senior campus, according to college principal Mr Pat Lewis.

Operated by men who had fought in the Vietnam conflict, the Nambus is a museum on wheels featuring weapons, uniforms, posters, models, videos and much more depicting every aspect of the war.

"Students were intrigued by the materials on show, but also by the first hand stories which the bus operators were able to tell," Mr Lewis said.

"While some students viewed and discussed the displays on the bus, others watched a big screen showing of 'The Odd Angry Shot' depicting the Vitenam conflict and again and talked with ex-servicemen about their experiences.

"The groups then rotated so that students could experience both activities.

"The entire visit attracted a very keen interest from students who were complimented by the bus operators."
