The Battle of Fromelles in July 1916 was the first battle for the Australian troops on the Western Front. It was an unmitigated disaster that still impacts on the lives of many Australian families.It is a fascinating but little known story and Jim Munro will explain the battle, its reasons and why it was such a disaster, and tell the story of the “missing” soldiers and the quest to find them, identify them and honour them.

Boat Stolen
Last
week (I think between the 18th and 22nd August) my boat was stolen from
Church Point Commuter Wharf. The boat is a white 4.5m Polycraft with an aqua blue biminy and a silver 50hp Honda outboard.
The registration number is AHF654N.
The boat was stolen by cutting through the padlock that secured it to the wharf.
If anyone saw anything suspicious or knows where the boat is please contact Peter on 0401716194.
Thank you
