A couple of days ago I rode the ‘41 Colson to Pentridge Prison which is now a residential and shopping complex.
On the return trip I passed through a part of Royal Park I haven’t been through before and discovered the plaque in the photos. Little did I know that Royal Park represented an important time in history between the USA and Australia and was once a military camp for thousands of American and Australian servicemen. The camp was named after American Major Floyd Pell who was killed in the 1942 attack on Darwin (in Northern Australia).
Today is our national day of remembrance. Thank you to all the men and women who died, served and continue to serve our beautiful country.
