Did you see 60 minutes

The students of Goondiwindi State High School should be so proud of themselves. The trip from Gundy To Gallipoli was amazing, and something I will remember forever.

Hong Kong is so clean and our short visit there was great we went to Disneyland, crossed islands on the ferry, and had a half day sight seeing. OMG it Micky & Minnie

Ypres was one of my favourite places. I loved Menin Gate they have a moving Last Post Ceremony every night. We met some really old people that go every night without fail. We were lucky enough to go twice. Abbey read a eulogy there. This is were we started the Western Front battlefields. I will post more Menin Gate photos later.

OH the Chocolate was to die for and the caramel fudge was delicious. They were waiting for us to arrive.

I lost count of how many cemeteries we visited, but their was still so many that we didn't see. One of the saddest things was seeing so many head stones with "Australian soldier of the great war" "Known unto God" written on them there was so many I can't imagine how sad it would of been for the families of these soldier that have no idea we they are buried or if there bodies were recovered.

Toronto Avenue was the most emotional of the trip. Each student studied a solider and read an eulogy, then laid a poppy and an Australian flag at each grave.By the end of our visit at Toronto Avenue there wasn't a dry eye to see. Abbey eulogy here was H.C Halliday

Signing the register at Toronto Avenue.

The head stones that we seen brought tears to so many eyes. They were truly beautiful to read.

"Another hero's part is done another soul gone west"

"His country called him and he answered"

"A place is vacant in our home which never can be filled"

"Those who new him most loved him best"

"The call was short the blow severe to part with one we loved so dear"

"Nothing in my hand I bring simply to the cross I cling"

"Responsive to his country's call, he gave his best, his life, his all"

This is only a few there were so many others.

That's it for today but I have so much more to share, so I will post again soon.
