Dili, East Timor. 14 November 1999. A road block, guarding one of the entrances to the old Dili airfield, now used as the heliport by the International Force for East Timor (Interfet), manned by an unidentified soldier of the 5th/7th Battalion (Mechanised), The Royal Australian Regiment (5/7RAR). The roadblock consists of a row of 44 gallon drums in front of a small tent.

There is a .50 calibre ammunition liner mounted to the left of the turret for storing personal items.
