INFORMAL ASSOCIATION LUNCHEON - 8th Dec 2018 1100h
Members and their guests are asked to join us for the last Luncheon of the year. The gatherings are casual in dress and nature and afford the opportunity to Brisbane residents and visitors to spend a few hours in the company of those who have also 'walked the weeds'.
Pay as You Go, as normal for drinks and food. See you there!

LONG TAN DAY 2018
Long Tan Day 2018 was a great affair with a solemn service at St. John's Cathedral followed by a brunch at 6 RAR.
It was wonderful to see past members come from all over the country to renew their camaraderie.
