There is a background scene with the Royal Australian Navy, attack class patrol boat, HMAS ASSAIL (Pennant 89) passing Garden Island in 1985. News cameras can be seen on board and balloons flying above her which I think is marking the end of her last days in Australian service before being sold to Indonesia.
