After giving instructions to the officials of New Zealand, Arthur turned his attention back to the parade.

Although Australia's army has just over ten thousand troops, this parade is quite substantial, with four infantry and cavalry squares and two heavy weapons inspection teams.

The four infantry and cavalry squares were composed of the Guards' and the National Defence Army's infantry and cavalry squares.

Meanwhile, the two heavy weapons inspection teams were transporting the Australian Army's two most abundant heavy weapons, the CA-1 machine gun and the MA-96 Maxim machine gun, on carriages.

In order to maintain the solemnity of the parade, the horses used to transport these weapons and equipment were carefully selected Australian wild horses.

The pure white military horses, slowly pulling the weapons along the street, brought a shock to the Australian people no less than the previous infantry squares.
