ExFortuna Survey Association
The formation of the ExFortuna Survey Association was adhoc and commenced as a series of informal social gatherings by serving and past members of the Army Survey Regiment. The aim of the group was to satisfy the need to continue the fellowship and Esprit de Corps that had been so strongly formed by members of the Survey Regiment and the Survey Corps over their years of service together.
In May 1996 the Army Survey Regiment located at Fortuna, Bendigo closed. Through the ExFortuna Survey Association the fellowship between both members of the Army Survey Regiment and past members of the Survey Corps has continued.
As well as organising social gatherings, ExFortuna Survey Association publish a newsletter called “Magna Carto”.
