Thanks for the feedback, nice crowd they are too, glad you had a nice time.
I visited Sue and Gary at Kalbarri a couple of months back, they had been very ill but were on the road to recovery when I visited.
Just wondering if any forum members are in Albany now or coming to help celebrate this fantastic event.
Had a quick look around this morning and its going to be worth your while .
Albany is turning it on for one and all lots to see and do
See Anzac Albany app for all the events and where to park and ride
Most events are free
Dhutime in Albany
