The British army captain better known as Prince Harry has played wheelchair AFL and learnt bush survival techniques during his first fortnight with the Australian Army.

The 30-year-old veteran of two Afghanistan deployments is on a month-long military exchange to Australia.

His schedule in the Northern Territory with the 1st Brigade has included flight simulation training, riding in an Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (Tiger), physical training and preparing for field exercises.

• Harry: ratbag royal to Prince Popular
• Charles and Harry to visit Anzac services
• Harry to patrol with Aboriginal troops

But it hasn’t been all work and no play for the prince.

After meeting with wounded and injured Australian soldiers he joined a game of wheelchair footy.

Earlier, while on duty with the North-West Mobile Force he got a lesson in bush survival and sourcing food and water, camping out two nights in the remote Kununurra region in Western Australia.

He also met local Aboriginal children and elders at the community of Wuggubun.

The prince will travel to Turkey for the 100th anniversary of the first Anzac landing in Gallipoli this week.

He’ll resume his stint with Australian Army joining units in Perth and Sydney upon his return.
