model making at its bestThis is just one of many models made by Richard Richardson a Ganges Boy who lives in Byfield National Park near Yappoon in Qld. It recently won first prize in a prestigious model making show. I say “well done ” a brilliant job.
I am sure our readers would like to see other stuff.
No update on Trafalgar Day as yet, will keep you all posted when I get details.
Awarded to Brian’s Father
THIS IS BELIEVED TO BE THE FIRST ARCTIC STAR ISSUED TO THE FATHER OF A QUEENSLAND GANGES BOY.
BRIAN IS VERY PROUD AS WE ALL SHOULD BE OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THOSE WHO WENT BEFORE US.

The following pictures are dedicated to all the boys that died on active service during WW2. none of these boys were over 17 years of age and all served their country with distinction.
Not all were Ganges boys, they were from other Junior Training Ships as well.
A news flash from UK.
Martin Foster who was jailed for ripping of the Ganges Assoc. of $A90,000 approx has served half of his sentence 18mnths and has been ordered by the court to repay $2.00 within seven days or back he goes back inside for another week.
We thought we had a problem with the punishment fitting the crime.
