Haven’t been to a high-school musical for a few years. We’ve gone to see Shrek The Musical performed by St Martins Lutheran College supported by a very talented and generous friend.

Hey! I just looked and saw I got 8/8 for last week’s NRL tips. That happens almost never.
And my three AFL losses weren’t really my fault. Oh well.
Who would have thought that first would play second for the AFL minor premiership, and three and four would play for the possibility finishing second if Melbourne beat Geelong. Having spoken to one of my pastor friends here in Mount Gambier about how well his Bulldogs were going, they proceeded to fall in a hole, but I think they’ll finish third and be in a good position to recover against Melbourne who I think will finish second. Unless they get smashed and Brisbane win well in which case they’ll finish fifth.
And it looks like Greater Western Sydney and Essendon should get positions seven and eight, with both West Coast and Richmond missing out.

Vietnam Veterans’ Day in Australia (also known as Long Tan Day) is observed on the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. 2021 is the 55th anniversary of that battle.

A commemoration was observed at Vansittart Park this afternoon here in Mount Gambier. It was simple and small, the meaning all the more manifest among those present who had served and those who remembered.
