I find this amateur film taken by NX31038 Eric Pitcher while serving with the 2/1 Artillery Survey Regiment in Egypt and Syria : https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/F00255/
And also this book, The detailed history of the 2/1st Australian Survey Regiment, Royal Australian artillery from 1940 to 1945. Now long out of print and a very scarce publication.

The Royal Regiment of Australian Artillery, normally referred to as the Royal Australian Artillery (RAA), is a Regiment of the Australian Army descended from the original colonial artillery units prior to Australia's federation. Australia’s first guns were landed from HMS Sirius and a small earthen redoubt built, near the present day Macquarie Place, to command the approaches to Sydney Cove. The deployment of these guns represents the origins of artillery in Australia.
The medals on the left side of the picture means that they representatives (usually families) of our war heroes.
