Caravanning, Camping & 4WDing ... Chris Blakemore & Andrew Kennedy. Informative podcasts getting Australia On Track.
Respect to all the Diggers out there. Normally at this time, we would see many travelling this amazing land and attending services across the country. But this year is different, we fight another war, we stay at home, we hold those close to us, and … we take time to remember those departed. Anzac Day is a time to honour Australian and New Zealand service men and women, the commitment and sacrifice they have made in conflicts over the years and in the present. Robert Dungey, has penned a poem (prior to C19) dedicated to our old mates, I have the honour to read it. We will remember them! Anzac ... written by Robert Dungey and read by Andrew Kennedy.
In Robert's words ... Writing has always been a passion of mine and I bloody love Australia....so it naturally follows that l Iike to write about Australia and Australians. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as enjoy writing it....CHEERS! This is called ... Divided by the bug.
DIMBOOLA CONVERSATION - What's in your toolbox? Other than an early finish, our Coromal group meet up at Dimboola was considered a huge success. Part of the programme, saw Craig Morgan and myself having a chin wag, with Craig picking my tool box to bits. Overkill was the verdict, so I might have a few things to dispense with (if Craig didn’t chuck it away on the day). Other general questions were asked. We did record the conversation, I have done some cutting and included some of the other questions ... enjoy!
