Tolley Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Hello, Below is a link to a report I have written on the ANZAC Day commemoration Gayleen and I attended on a hill, half way between Boulia and Bedourie in far western Queensland. It was a great day. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nnptp376iw1db82/ANZAC%20Trip%20Report.pdf?dl=0 RegardsColin 3 Quote
Sandra Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Colin and Gayleen,Thank you for sharing this lovely story. It must have been a wonderful experience (probably a lot better than our Anzac Day in wet, cold, miserable Melbourne). We always think small regional towns do a lot better than the big city Anzac Day services.Once again thank you, always love reading about other people's travels.Cheers,Clive and Sandra 1 Quote
Tolley Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Posted May 7, 2015 Thank you Sandra. It was a "once in a lifetime event", so to speak, very special. The poem at the end of the story sums it up. RegardsColin 1 Quote
Merv and Di Posted May 8, 2015 Report Posted May 8, 2015 An excellent read, thank you Colin. A couple that we met over in the Flinders last month spent a magnificent ANZAC Day at Farina Station and said it was a moving ceremony there as well. as they have their own memorial for the many station hands that volunteered for both wars.

RickA Posted May 9, 2015 Report Posted May 9, 2015 Colin and Gayleen Thank you both for sharing that wonderful story. What an great way to celebrate such an important memorial! RegardsLea and Rick Quote
Tolley Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Posted May 11, 2015 Merv, Di, Lea, Rick and Tony, it was a special day and I am pleased you enjoyed it. RegardsColin 1 Quote
Steve and Kez Posted May 12, 2015 Report Posted May 12, 2015 Hello Colin, Great report for a very important day. We too attended a very memorable dawn service and memorial service in the beautiful"Outback". We attended the service at Farina Station on the start of the Oodnadatta Track. It was attended by over 200 people and a large number of ex servicemen and women. The Outback can certainly do it better Quote
Tolley Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Posted May 22, 2015 Hi Steve and Kez, I am familiar with Farina and their flag station. It would have been wonderful there on ANZAC Day. RegardsColin Quote
