Day 9 - Sunday 25th April, 2021
Lest we Forget.
I was never the best soldier in my time but still respect the decision to sign up.
I managed to wake up in time for the Melbourne Dawn Service. Do the Officers still wake up the diggers with a coffee and rum on ANZAC Day?
Then I listened to the rain. Whilst it was good to be able to spread out and wash and dry everything the budget doesn't cover a motel room every night. I looked at the weather which showed showers all day and the walk was a highway walk out of Mossman down past Port Douglas turn off and up Mowbray River Road.
I decided to see if I could hitch a lift out there. It was soon decided that I would stay at Newell Beach with Trevor and Debbie who had fed me last night and had planned a roast for tonight.
We talked crap, slept, watched football and drank beers. What a better way to spend ANZAC Day.
I went to sleep in their annexe listening to more rain and glad I wasn't in it.
