This is a picture of John Hardaker. He is the one on the right of the picture walking. Location – Broken Hill. I presume during the Mad Max 3 filming. Courtesy of his son Mitch Hardaker. John Hardaker passed away in 1999. Location – Broken Hill, Mitch Hardaker, John Hardakers son, was told that this was taken whilst Mad Max 3 was being filmed out there. You can see the old bus on the left of the picture. This picture is of John Hardaker and other officers.  Most probably Don BRATTAN with his back to camera and the large Crown ( Sgt 1/c ) on the left sleeve.
