ANZAC DAY - What did you do ?

No Gunfire Brekky, No Dawn Service, for me,
But before coming off night shift,
we did raise five Australian flags to half mast,
at work this morning.

Touch of the Proud Aussie Spirit here matey....even tho' I didn't pay my respects at the dawn service.

I was awake tho!...and thought bout gettin' up and heading off to a service.

All I can say is, Thank God for our ANZAC's!!

didn't make it to the dawn service, went to an ANZAC service in a local town, layed a wreath and watched my dad play 2 up, good day all round!

Up at 3.30 am to get ready in 10th Lt Horse uniform and head out to Port Kennedy for the Dawn Service. Then off down to Mandurah to ride Bundy (a horse) in the parade and represent the Light Horse. Home for a couple hours to fix me horse up who had an argument with some wire (ringlock, thank christ) and lost. Off to work at 5pm back to Mandurah to pull out the traffic control over the Mandyrah bypass bridge. Home at 12 midnight give or take.

Guess it was a pretty full day huh.

I was very disappointed not being able to go to dawn service (there are only a few things I get out of bed at that tie for!!) but had to drive to Kal that day so needed sleep-in. Spent the day in cruiser that ran hot all the bloody way to Kal. 7 1/2 hour trip that took 9 1/2 hours arrrrgggh!

one of the local towns up here decided toput on a dusk service instead of a dawn one. I think the last time they had only three people rock up but with the dusk one this year they had over 200 and there was a bbq to follow which rasied money for charity. good idea I reckon.
it was pretty disgraceful seeing footage of the way that Gallipolli was left. good on those that made the treck but they could have taken their rubbish with them to the nearest bin. maybe next year they will provide more bins.
anyway. thanks to all those who fought for our country. we may not be here if it wasn't for you guys.
