Easter Monday we made a visit to the Australian War Memorial especially to see the WWI exhibition. We wanted to see this before we head off to Turkey next week. Our guide was very good and we did a normal tour with many others, then he took us for a special tour on our own as he knew we were heading to Gallipoli next week.
I did not realise that Prince Harry was going to be at the AWM, so that was a special treat for me (being the Royalist that I am!). I was standing on a small brick wall with a good view of the steps and entrance to the building. Another lady was next to me (also a Royalist) and Tracey was even more excited than me about seeing Harry. It was raining and she shared her umbrella with me, and eventually it got too much for Tracey and she left me with the brolly and went to the "frontline" and got a great photo of Harry. When the crowd thinned a little I did take one of Harry while he was talking to the little boy with the sign "redheads rule". Ray stayed at the "frontline" and actually was very close to the Prince as he walked along - could hear the conversations he was having with the people.
We went back to Jason's for a quick lunch, he made us a coffee in our travel mugs and we left for Leeton.
We had a lovely Easter at Murrumbateman and arrived home at 6pm - just in time to see Prince Harry on the evening news.
Safe travels!!
