Our ANZAC service continues to be very moving. This year Alistair was with us - the first time in 4 years that he has not been on active duty in the Middle East. It was all the more special for that reason. Wayne and I always get choked at the beginning of the march with the symbolic walk of the lighthorseman. If you or your party are interviewed again, it would be good to mention the Simpson Prize (an important promotion for the future competitions); so far, no one seems to have explained why the group is there apart from the obvious - it's Gallipoli. The Blue Mosque is just fantastic, isn't it? Forgive me the spelling errors in Mum and Dad's message. I was rushing. Continue having just the best time and take lots of photos.

We are thinking of you all, enjoyed reading your first two entries. We saw your segment on Channel 7 Jacinta, it was GREAT, you didn't look like a sookie la la at all - we have taped it for you. They included the Joshua Wallace bit - so cute! Hope your camera work is going well, we are looking forward to seeing your pictures. Obviously you found Andrew at the airport! (Mothers!) James says hi. Vanessa says she can't believe that you have left her here with 'no-one else' - Mum, Dad, Rachel obviously don't count! Measured most kids at the Rocka today ready for costumes. Surfing the web for your blogg and found you on Alan Griffin's web page - there is a picture of you with Alan but says you are the girl from SA! Anyway, keep enjoying. EmmaB says to "tell her to come back!". Love from us to you. Hi all, just located your blogg. We are thinking of you all, enjoyed reading your first two entries.
