Description

I took this shot from my front door this morning. A convoy of Australian Defense Force were leaving town after our big flood. They repaired bridges & roads & did all that was required of them, some had been to Afghanistan, we won't forget them.We all got in & helped , we emptied out entire houses on to the street ready for removal.On a brighter note before they left, they had an Aussie game of cricket against the fire fighters,who hosed out all the houses, ending with all the left over fireworks from the cancelled Australia Day celebrations. Still heaps to do. I thank you all for your comments. Glenda
