Anzac Day Dawn service at Ingleburn

This morning got out of bed in the early hours to go to the Anzac Day dawn service at the Ingleburn RSL. I have always talked about going in years pass but just have not done it. Well finally done it. It's on days like this that I remember my Grandad and how I miss him now. It has been over ten years when I got the phone call from the nursing home telling us that he had passed away.I can still now recall his funny story about Fredo the frog that he would make up and tell me.He would not tell me anything of his war service like many men he don't think he was a hero. He was just doing his job. Well I will rise a glass to him and the other Australians who serviced this Great country today. Lest We Forget

if it is not nailed down

If it is not nailed down then it is up for sale in New South Wales. Case in point Hurlstone Agricultural High School land is up for sale. The School which has sits on 160 hectare of land at Glenfields for over 100 years has been an important for Agricultural education for not just the state but also for Australia, the country which once rode on the sheep back is now seen by the New South Wales government as one big cash cow. The government is now trying to sell the idea by having an inquiry into the sale which looks like a white wash, this after a paper by the Education department came to light this week which recommended that money form the sale be used to pay for the inquiry. This becoming like an bad episode of Yes Minster! What Next?
