Each year we March with GG Pups at the Anzac Day March in the CBD. GG Pups was in WWII, in the Navy. He was on HMAS Arunta - pictured below. Once the war was over she was sold to the Japanese for scrap metal. The diggers were not impressed naturally, having just fought the Japanese; the day before she was due to sail to Japan she was sunk in Australian waters!! Ironic or not ;-)HMAS Arunta, derived from the Arrernte native people fron central Australia. The Arunta was a Tribal-class destroyer commissoned in 1942. Here is the flag of the Arunta at the March today. Boncie heading into the CBD on the toot toot for the March!!
