"Blitzing Australia for Legacy"
 

Well folks - it's official.

Today I received the support and backing from Legacy Australia to conduct my fund raising lap for Australia in the mighty C8AX. :thup2:

Will be departing SE Qld heading clockwise around the nation in April, May & June 2013 with plans to be in Melbourne for ANZAC Day 2013.

Legacy are going to help with a web page and blog, as well as promotional material but I will be organising sponsors and merchandising along the way.
I am approaching the CDS for logistical support from the Australia Defense Force and also going to seek support from the RSLs, the Australian Transport Corps Association and every military vehicle club I can find.

Watch this space for updates. There is so much to do, so many things we need!!

Oh God, what have I done!!! :wacko:

Well Done!
 

Pete,

That sounds wonderful!

Wouldn't it be fantastic of this could happen with a full convoy of WWII vehicles, with drivers etc in full period uniform. Do it for all of us!

Safe journey and send updates often.

Route?
 

Let us know if you plan to pass through this area, we'll do what we can for you! :salute:

Ditto for me!
 

Yes, let me know when/if coming through Gympie way, and I will notify news & radio outlets for some publicity. The Gympie RSL would want to know as well of course. Gympie has a great deal of pride in it's military history and servicemen/servicewomen.

While here, it is a must to see the Memorial Lane in Mary St, which has wonderful, hand painted mosaic murals.

Just some of our murals. There are at least 12 of these!
Unfortunately, there was a recent sad addition to the plaques. That being the one dedicated to Cpl Ashley Birt.
Lest We Forget

Your presence would be welcomed and celebrated, no doubt!
