‘I fixed the mower,’ I said to Karyn, with a sense of satisfaction. 

‘Good.  What was wrong with it?’

The 60th Annual Show is now only about 4 weeks away.  I hope that your flowers are blooming, the veges are growing, the fruit trees are fruiting, the horses are getting restless etc etc.   My flowers are blooming now, as they do each year , so that they have nearly all finished for the show.  Never mind – someone else will have a chance of winning a prize.

We expected big crowds at the 100 year Centenary of Anzac Dawn Service this year but the numbers were way beyond expectation with in excess of 1200 attending, many were families with very small children.  First the magnificent new granite memorials were dedicated by Richard Lance.  This was followed by 15 “Soldiers”, our scouts dressed in WW 1 uniform each representing one of the 15 men killed in action during WW1 and accompanied by descendants of the 15, placing poppies on the columns in a moving tribute to those who paid the Supreme Sacrifice.  

Beautiful weather and visitors started to arrive early.  Cups of tea/coffee with Anzac Biscuits was a very popular pit stop. Charlie was kept busy sharing his knowledge and know how on information relating to our Anzacs.  Martin and Michael in the blacksmith shop were kept going displaying their knowledge on the forge.  One of our younger visitors, Georgia Fitzgerald of Samford was fortunate and happy enough to don a replica of a Viking’s outfit, worn around 1000 to 1200.  This very heavy and impressive outfit was made by Martin.
