Week Four on the Campaign
Saturday
Saturday was ANZAC day. I attended the march and memorial service in Griffith. It was an honour to listen to former Councillor Manjit Singh Lally speak about the history of the Puggaree and the connection to India. I later saw an excellent display in the Griffith War Museum and learnt a lot about the different types of rifles used over the years.
Sunday
Church. I was privileged to be invited to the Samoan Assembly of God to celebrate faith and family and some of the best music in the country. I stayed for a traditional Samoan 'light' lunch with some delicious Oka I'a and coconut bananas. In the afternoon I travelled to Darlington Point for a relaxing sunset on the Murrumbidgee River and a great pub feed at the Punt Hotel.
Monday
On Monday it a delicious Hillston bakery pie for breakfast. Then Merriwagga and Monia Gap for some sight seeing before a picnic lunch at Rankin Springs. After a long journey full of grasshoppers we made it to Carrathool and then Darlington Point where two illustrious youths earning pocket money hit me up for a car wash.
