I recently volunteered at the 69th Palm Creek Park Run as a photographer, snapping everyone's amazing feat at getting up early and and going for a 5k jog. Those who crossed the finish line were treated to some chocolate eggs and boy did I need one after running around that course with a camera in hand! Thanks to the amazing volunteers who make Park Run happen, between the Park Run at Palm Creek in Ingham, and at the Cardwell Foreshore, you guys do great work.
ANZAC Day is always an important time of year to remember those who served, Lest We Forget. My great-grandfather is the person I think about most when this day arrives. He served in WWII as a mechanic servicing aircrafts when they came in for repairs, landing in the middle of the ocean on the huge aircraft carriers, the ships that served as floating airbases.
I think of his bravery and that of the many others who held courage in their hearts when facing such a traumatic thing as war. This edition features a poem written about the Australian soldiers service in both world wars, it's stirring, striking and encourages reflection.
Mother's Day is just around the corner so don't forget to order that bouquet and tie a ribbon around a bottle of champers!
Victoria
Fun Fact: Carnations are a great flower to use for both ANZAC and Mother's Day. Their floral language symbolises love, gratitude and never forgetting someone.
