Australian War Memorial now on Facebook

Mon 21 Apr 2008

Who said Facebook is just for the youngsters?  I don’t know when the Australian War Memorial created its Facebook page but a couple of days ago I saw this advertisement on my Facebook news feed.

Clicking on the ad took me to an Event page for the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at the War Memorial’s parade ground.  The Event page has an “Export” button so you can add the Dawn Service to your Outlook calendar.

Yes, I’ll be attending, and then it’s off to Code Camp Oz in Wagga Wagga.

    So was the code camp Oz good? Had you been there before? Did you get to speak? enough questions for today :)

  2. Dune Says:

    I echo Cazzie’s questions.

    I missed Anzac Day this year, and I felt it’s loss. I’m pleased to see and feel, though, that Anzac Day is becoming bigger and bigger, rather than getting irrelevant.

    Hi Cazzie & Dune,

    Sorry It has taken me so long to respond. Everything in a rush before heading overseas. (This message sent from Cuzco in Peru; Macchu Pichu tomorrow.)

    Yep Code camp was definitely worth attending to put names to faces and suss out the top speakers and invite them to Brisbane. Mission accomplished in that respect. Paul Stovell is speaking at this month’s QMSDNUG meeting.
