ARMY CADETS CENTRE STAGE AT BATHURST 🏁

Army Cadets from the New South Wales Brigade have been centre stage at the 2026 Repco Bathurst 1000 at the Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst.

This is the second year our cadets have been part of Supercars, both participating and getting exclusive behind the scenes access at the Bathurst 1000, following a partnership established by Commander Australian Army Cadets, Brigadier David McCammon.

AFX is a great opportunity to meet new cadets from other areas of NSW and participate in new activities. We hope in 2027 we send even more cadets !

WHERE ARE THEY NOW!

Former CDTSGT Ralph Harwood
October 2019 - April 2023

"During my time in cadets, I made life long mates, learnt new skills and achieved goals I did not think I could. My most memorable time in cadets was bivouacs and ATA in 2022."

Since Ralph's discharge he enlisted in the Australian Army in 2023, a week off his 17th Birthday. He serves as a Gunner within 4th Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery.

"I never would have considered Artillery unless LT(AAC) Ridge had not told me about it"

His proudest moment in service was playing the solo bagpipes at the 2026 ANZAC NRL Round and serving alongside many countries supporting them on the gun line.
