Immediately after the dawn service we would love it if you could join us for a community breakfast.

Our thanks go to Huonville ex-serviceman’s & women’s club for the venue and the Huon Lions Club and Huonville Fire Brigade for cooking, serving and cleaning up.

The bar will also be open for those that would like to have a ‘gunfire’ hot toddy.

Our thanks go to the local businesses that help donate food for the breakfast; Banjo’s Hounville, Huon Valley Prime Meats, Lucaston Orchards and Sun Valley Poultry Farm and Woolworths Huonville.

A gold coin donation would be appreciated. This money will be donated in full to Legacy Tasmania.

At the opening of the hub, the stand out quote for us was that this facility will
Only be as good as the support it gets by our local community. I hope if you’re a veteran that you’ll have a chance to pop by and meet Mick. He’s an absolute legend and we’re lucky to have someone like him for our veteran community and their families.

Huonville Remembrance Day service was a time of reflection of the sacrifices made by those who have served from the armed forces.
Huonville High School students gave their time to set up and participate in the service. Representatives from the school prepared a heartfelt rendition of the poem ‘Flanders Fields’ -our thanks to Jason Parbs. The main address was presented by Amy Cook, who spoke so eloquently. The upper primary school students from Huonville and grades 7-10 from the High School attended to pay their respects and support their peers.
Our gratitude goes to all members of our community who helped in various ways and who made the time to pause at 11am on 11th day of the 11th month, to remember. Lest we forget.

Notably absent today was our much loved flag operator, Kevin Turvey. You were sorely missed Kev. We hope you know how much we appreciate you and hope you’re feeling well enough to enjoy the sunshine today.

Our thanks to:
Peter Frethey on pipes

George Snow Huon Production Services
