Prince Harry will get a glimpse into how soldiers in North West Mobile Force (NORFORCE) use ancient Aboriginal skills to patrol the unpredictable north-west coast of Australia.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

NORFORCE’s area of operations is about 1.8 million square km and covers the Northern Territory and the north of Western Australia.\u00a0<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Harry, who is fourth-in-line to the throne, is Down Under to complete a month-long secondment with the Australian army as part of his military training.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

NORFORCE patrols the area to be on the look-out for fb88<\/a> illegal foreign fishing vessels and drug smugglers as well as people smugglers from neighbouring Indonesia.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Photographs of the unit’s soldiers reveal Harry will be sleeping under the stars as well as completing drills in the darkness of night.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Possible activities he will engage in include lighting fires, digging for water amongst spinifex grass, eating and cooking turtle eggs, spear fishing and looking for mud clams among mangroves.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Aboriginal reservists make up a large proportion of the NORFORCE’s 600-strong unit, and are well-versed on the terrain and the food the land can provide.\u00a0<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Fish, shellfish, turtle eggs and even insects supplement rations are eaten during the patrol.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

On Monday, Prince Harry touched down at 8.30am and made his way through throngs of people who were hoping to catch a glimpse of the red-headed prince in Canberra.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

He will be travelling to Darwin in the Northern Territory, Sydney in New South Wales and Perth in Western Australia.\u00a0<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

The ‘People’s Prince’ showed off his playful side as he greeted thousands who were lined up behind barricades on Monday.\u00a0<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

He made faces at babies and even got a peck on the cheek from a elderly lady.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

But what drew the Prince’s attention the most was Ethan Toscan, 12, from Bruce – a suburb north of Canberra.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

In a show of solidarity, Ethan – who shares the same hair colour as the British royal – made a sign that read: ‘Red Heads Rule!’\u00a0<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
