G'day Lorraine, Very interesting album you have created and informative. Thanks to the guide showing me around in the park. Guess you had a great trip house-boating on the river. Maybe we will see some pics in the future? Warm regards, Ramon.

Hi Lorraine, What a fascinating place, I bet it occupied a lot of a day, a real insight to life during WW11. Thanks for the trip very interesting, kind regards Ken

Hi Loraine! Nice album! Very interesting point of view. Congratulations! Thanks a lot for your warm words about my pictures. You're so kind! Sorry for the delay but I was away. I'm waiting your new albums. By the way I posted my last album - Discover Bulgaria - Bojentzi. I'll be very happy if you visit it. Best regards - Ljubomira (from Bulgaria).

Nice album Lorraine and I seem to have been a bit slow picking it up. Do us a favour and email me the link to any new albums you put out please. I bet you're glad you aren't up the top end right now with Monica in attendance - and it looks as though she is going to start heading down the coast of WA when she's done with Darwin. Hope you are keeping A OK and i would really appreciate it if you would send me an email link to any new albums you put out - that way I won't be so late in picking them up. Goodonya sport! Love and hugs, Peter

Dear Lorraine, Thanks so much for the history lesson I knew that there were bombings in Australia but its not always remembered as much as those in Europe I suppose. I find this sort of thing fascinating though. There are world war 2 tunnels at Dover castle in the cliffs I have not visited then for a long time maybe I should. The oil pipes tunnels were amazing too what a job to dig them out PHEW! Take care now Jill

Hey Lorraine: Isn't it amazing the amount of effort that was put into winning the war. So many people worked, fought, were maimed, both physically and mentally, and died to keep our freedom intact. Great album. Put a picture on your home page. I've always wondered what an Aussie Gypsy looked like - now's my opportunity, but no, you don't post one! Whatsamatta U? Jim

Hi Lorraine! Such an appropriate album with Anzac Day approaching, and one that every Australian should see because too little is known about this part of our history. It is about 18 yrs since I visited that area so I am pleased to see that these Military Sites are being preserved and their history put on display. Well done and thankyou for sharing.. Thankyou too for your kind words in my g/b.. (Please forgive if I was too hard on you about the album properties, unfortunately far too many members do not proof-read to find out if their text fits, and I find so many incomplete sentences).. Best wishes.. Gladys, Western Australia.

Thanks for the tour. It's too easy to forget all that the WWII generation prepared for and endured. Thanks for sharing the photos. Bill - Texas
