Sunday 14 July Horn Island tour

Waiting for the bus to arrive to take us on the tour of Horn Island.
Sean, Graham & Greg. Couldn't tame Sean's hair, it had a mind of its own.
Ready to go now. Val, Susan, Wendy & Kristin.
Welcome to Horn Island.

Island time.

Bus tour took us to where our Aussie soldiers fought to save our country.
Horn was the last defence post protecting the mainland from the Japanese.
Liberty, our tour guide (from Thursday Island) & his wife Vanessa (originally from Brisbane) have put their own money into setting up a wonderful museum to pay tribute to the Diggers. Vanessa has received an OBE for her work & research & well deserved.
Anne & Kristin on the tour.
On the bus again.
