Nice! Aircraft are 36SQN RAAF DC2s, says their PAO.

Interesting equipment. Obvious British influence but with some home grown kit such as the helmet. The parachute looks like the British X Type but I've never seen a British X Type with a static line stowage like that. The Welbike and the CLE MkIII supply container however are pure British Airborne.

Helmets are the locally made M42 "Duperite"

The standard British ones were more often seen post-war
