Where are the Australian blokes?

4RAR was in the western desert.....they were scattered all over the plance though mixed with US special forces as well.
then when fighting clamed down they were in Baghdad

[ShotOver]

Isnt there 2RAR doing patrols in the middle of Baghdad at the moment? I remember pictures of ASLAVS and guys on rooftops with F88's and Night vision gear.

[Mortimer]

yup i think they have a platoon over there supporting 2CAV

Mortimer, they were around Baghdad, I've been informed that it was SASR. A U.S. reporter was temporarily "detained", as well as those ****head human shield people being cauught in an Aussie SF checkpoint on the way out of Baghdad. I dont actually remember them saying they were fighting in Baghdad, I remember them being on the outskirts monitoring the roads making sure that Iraqi dignitaries didn't try and slip out.

[Mortimer]

I ment like just before they left they had some time in Baghdad or something. He was telling me about the looters and stuff and i thought that manly occured in Baghdad, but it could have just as easily been on the outskirts.

That map is absolutely inaccurate.
Irak has been divided into 4 sectors:

For completeness I include a map of ethnic-groups distribution:
