Good afternoon all,

Anzac Day 2013 saw a beautiful day at Paynesville and Bairnsdale, Victoria, Australia.

At Paynesville approximately 300 marches and public enjoyed a lovely ceremony with the Anzac Address given by 2 students from the Bairnsdale Secondary College.

Three vehicles were in the parade. Roger Ross in his 1943 Ford GPW Jeep, Graeme Clark driving the 1940 Chev Staff Car and Geoff Cove driving my 1942 White Scout Car with me as passenger.

On to Bairnsdale we went where more than 700 people attended the Anzac Day March. Many, many school children swelled the ranks of the marchers.

Here the vehicles from Paynesville were joined by Daniel Leadoux driving his late father, Johns, 1947 Ford Blitz. (Yes that is right, 1947 a very, very late assembly), David Pettman in his 1944 Chev 1 1/2 ton Yankee Joe. Len Sanford in his 1978 Ford ambulance with wife Jane driving the 1944 Dodge WC. Alan Carpenter had Norm (?) driving the Mahindra Jeep whilst Alan drove his Dodge WC. A total of 9 vehicles in Bairnsdale.

A great lunch at the Bairnsdale RSL finished off a very lovely day.

Thanks to all of the vehicle drivers and owners for your support.

Regards Rick.

A malfunction with the camera saw no photos from this scribe but there were plenty taken and I will add some as they come to hand.
