I didn't even hear about this until midday :-[ did anybody go in there respective states? It's good to see them make an effort to honor these servicemen.

Very hot during the March up here in Darwin.
Army put on a good display with their choppers, (tigers, chinooks, and MRH -90's) along with the RAAF's Orion, a extremely important tool utilised in the Middle East for Op Slipper.

That's because it was organised by the ADF and the ADF don't do media stuff all that well. Bit of a shame really as it should have been better supported by the public, just most didn't know about it.

I didn't even know it was on?
I live in a garrison town and heard nothing...what a shame.
