The parade was well attended, and local businesses certainly did well out of the patronage!
There were two no-shows, an M113 FSV, which was replaced with something more interesting, and the Matilda, which was replaced with a non-operational stablemate on a truck.
1st up were a section of the Lancers in early garb.

This hero of the 'Fighting 29' uniform was next in parade

Then we had a section of the Australian Light Horse Brigade

Once the horses had passed, it was on to the wheels. First up was an oldy converted to carry a machine gun.

A Universal Carrier with Bren Gun growled past

The almost-operational Matilda was not quite operational enough, so the position was taken b this engineless variant

Followed not long after by Jaffa, the Ferret

Then The Beast! Cent

Followed by an M113 FSV... Hello Digger


The highlight soon rolled by. I want one.

I took another dozen or so photos of the kit detail on this CRV.
Bringing up the rear were a pair of Bushmasters. Venom in front

and Viper behind.

I couldn't stay for the foot soldiers, but did get to the barracks a while later, where most vehicles were on display, as well as a 2a WKSP, Champ, bridge layer, memorabilia, band etc
