Albury March
We had a dozen or so Jeeps all loaded with diggers unable to march, but not wanting to miss out on their big day. All vehicles followed on after the 4 horses which lead the parade. so no marches in danger of being run over. Embarrassingly we had a jeep starter motor jam at the start, pushed out of the way, passegers squeezed in to another vehicle in quick time.
Kitty Hawk impressed with the victory roll overhead

Wodonga March
the vehicles were scattered through the Parade, this may have been because of too many organisers, WE do not have a say in this.

I hope the media understands that the vehicles invovled in the parade do so only as a means of helping Diggers participate in the March, it is OUR way of saying thank you. It is not a show & Shine for the vehicles owners benefit, in fact we had some jeeps pull out of the Wodonga parade last year because the seats wereempty.

My thoughts are with both the injured marchers and the driver.

On a brighter note at the Dawn Service.
As the bugle played Last Post, the kookabuura's started their own early morning song, it was a terrfifc moment.
