among the fortunate 8000 Australians
who were successful in the lottery to
determine which of the many tens of
thousands who entered the draw won
tickets to attend the 100th anniversary
Anzac Day Dawn Service at Gallipoli.
As direct descendants of one of those
Australian soldiers who landed on Anzac
Cave on April 25, 1915, Mike and Shane
were “handicapped” favourably when
names of the lucky 8000 were drawn
out of the hat.
Mike says the visit, not only to
Gallipoli but to the old World War I
battlefields of France, was eye-opening,
heart-wrenching and inspirational.
“Prior to attending the Anzac Dawn
Service, Shane and I were able to pay
our respects to the fallen at the giant
military cemetery at Villers Bretonneux
and also visit the Australian National
Memorial,” Mike reported.

village of Heilly and the Heilly Station

Scouts are growing in the Hawkesbury
and you are invited to be part of the
fun and adventure!
For more than 100 years Scouts have offered a program to young people that
develop them and encourages teamwork and initiative. Scouts believe encouraging
young people to “be prepared” is more important today than ever.
What should you be prepared for?
Fun and adventure, team involvement, helping other people, being a leader, making
friends, caring for the environment, and being a positive influence in your community.
Scouting is a world-wide
organisation for boys and girls
aged from 6 to 17 years.
It teaches social and leadership
skills through challenge, adventure,
and everyday living skills.
It also teaches you to work as an
individual and together as a team.
It teaches the kids in such a
fun way, that they don’t even k now
they are being taught!
