Dunny Kirk Evacuation
The Dunny Kirk Evacuation, code-named Operation Dunny-go and also known as Cooker Rush of Dunny kirk, or just Dunny kirk, was the evacuation of the cooker protestors during the Canberra Siege from the EPIC park and surrounds in the north of Canberra between 12 February and 14 February 2022. The operation commenced after a large number of Cookers returned to the EPIC center after the decisive and devisive draw of Operation Sovereign Storm and the successful counter action of Operation Sovereign Stand-around.
After the Cookers invaded Canberra in February 2022, Canberra and the AFP allegedly declared war on the cookers and imposed a general blockade of local outrage and annoyance on them. After the phoney protests earlier in the first week of February, Canberra was better prepared to handle the influx and called in a few (probably less than) of AFP units from the surrounding regions, the Parliamentary Triangle wardens, and a couple well marked stationary cameras that were clearly ignored.
Late on 10 February, a eviction order was issued by Supreme Chancellor, Commander-in-Chief and Glorious leader of Canberra Andrew Barr with a demand that they depart at 12pm on 13th February 2022. This was approved and ratified by the Territorial Assembly and delivered to EPIC showground that very day. This gave the Cookers time to prepare for their evacuation and to do so in an orderly fashion.
On the first day, 12 February, they lost 75% of their number but by the end of 13 February the Garrison at EPIC was all but vacated with a group creating an an incursion into the Cotter region and the more bold Expedition to the Caloola farm representing the first real attempt to break into the south of Canberra. This left the 'Cold Cookedhundred' a band of irregulars made up of the remaining factions in a vain attempt to hold the line, and buy time for the evacuation elements.
Prelude
Without informing the greater elements of the cookers, the leadership began preparing on 12 february for Operation Dunny-go, the evacuation and re-organization of their forces across parts of Canberra. The planning was headed up by General Riccardo Bossi in his five star hotel room, over a cheese platter and a bottle of Chateau-o'der-floor while watching the Married at first sight Season finale. This was interrupted as He was required by Admiral Hoody to help and lead Operation Sovereign Storm.
