Former Chantoozies singer and TV actress Tottie Goldsmith, pictured left, had no problem in hitting the high notes during her performance at the Australian National Contingent headquarters in the Iraqi capital on June 8.

Ms Goldsmith was part of the Tour de Force Middle East Area of Operations 3, which travelled to Iraq late last month. It was comprised of ADF personnel, civilian artists and civilian support staff.

The performers included The Avenues rock group from Perth, country singer Rebecca Lavelle, Comedians Big Brother Little Brother (Adam and Mathew Hedditch) and the Australian Army Band-Melbourne.

The tour travelled throughout the MEAO performing in front of sailors, soldiers and airmen and airwomen to provide an appropriate level of welfare support to the ADF contingent deployed on Operation Catalys
