Description
Around 700 New Zealand soldiers and personnel are in Australia for the largest war-fighting and military training exercise in the Southern Hemisphere.
35-thousand soldiers from 19 nations are taking part in it.

Tim Beveridge talks to Senior National Officer Lieutenant Colonel Tim Tuatini for more.
