Vics show true colours

Navy Week in Victoria from October 26 to November 5 attracted large crowds to a variety of colourful activities.

These commenced with the HMAS Cerberus Open Day, attended by over 4000 people. Demonstrations of wet rescue procedures and survival at sea proved very popular, except with those in the water.

Reserve divers showed their skills in a diving tank, and DSTO showed off their new mini yellow submarine.

Local community involvement was the theme this year. The CFA put on some hot demonstrations of their rescue abilities, and numerous community organisations provided static displays.

Local schools also were represented in the first School Art Show. A wonderful selection of children’s artwork was put on show at the cinema.

The weather was unfortunately a little disagreeable, but the rain held off for the most part.
