We had another great visit by young participants in the Defence Work Experience Program and a bugle which had belonged to the 2nd Military District Band whose history goes back to 1874, caught the eye of one young man. After requesting permission to play it he then left visitors and staff spellbound as he flawlessly played the Last Post. As he held the last note and it slowly faded, everyone stood silently in reflection. A lasting memory for them all.

We were honoured today to welcome Elizabeth Watson-Brown MP, member for the seat of Ryan, who has been extremely supportive of the museum and through her help and the provision of a grant under the Saluting Their Service program, we have been able to install new display cabinets in our World War 1 room replacing out-dated ones from over sixty years ago.
Our Director Ron Mortensen presented her with a copy of The History of the 7th Australian Infantry Brigade 1940-45 which he had written. Fascinating artefacts such as the pocket diary written by Pte JD Bostock, the second man ashore at Gallipoli, and hand embroidered postcards sent by soldiers during the First World War attracted attention as did a 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun and awards and medals conferred on 9th Battalion soldiers in both wars.
