Anzac Day '25

What an incredible morning, you couldn't have asked for a better one. This morning's service, delivered by WA Naval Commodore John Collins, was exceptional as he discussed our Australian HMA submarine AE2, which caused a stir during the initial landings at Gallipoli. A fantastic morning...

It had rained for a few days, but this morning was just marvellous, without a cloud in the sky but still a nip in the air but we can live with nips it's the rain we don't like.

Our little rug rat Macca doing what Macca does best!

My two little Sheila's having a rest before our walk to the swings park.

The who mob enjoying our traditional Champaign breakfast with champers and Anzac biscuits, the only kiddie who didn't turn up was Harry as he was working Dogwatch at Midland brick.

It was Sarah's opportunity to wear their Pop's service medal, which she wore with family pride. It always gives me heaps of pride that the kiddies love being given the chance to wear my dad's medal, as I love the fact my Dad Victor Paul served with the Australian Airforce for six years.

Macca mucking around at the fire of remembrance.

Jacko doing some baby sitting with Macca, he's a good uncle.

Macca again as she says to me that she has been a very good girl so why haven't we left for the swings? Yes okay.

The ripper DNA Tower located inside Kings Park which was on the way to the swings down at Dinasaur Park.

And as Macca would say 'I did it' as she took every step up the DNA tower to the top, you could say Pop was very impressed.

Macca giving her mum a wave who was to worried to climb up the tower, she was yelling out to Sarah probably saying 'scary cat'

Macca telling me that we have finally made it to the swings

Oscar helping Macca up the steps to the upper level of the slides where she can slide down the tube.

Up at the top of the park platform.

And down she goes, and you can imagine she then hit repeat about ten times and that was about it, she had some fun and then we headed back to the car so we could grab some Macca's. Yes, Macca at Maccas....
