Those involved included many state and federal government contacts, local RSL sub-branch members, Anzac Day event organisers and the Nashos' own hard-working committee.
"But more importantly we wanted to acknowledge the actual RAAF crew and organisers who by their precision timing and navigation, added so much to the Centenary Anzac Day memorial ceremonies in our rural districts," publicity officer Paul Pereira said.
The end results was that many of the photos, media reports and comments from those who attended the day’s services were compiled and formed into a short slide presentation to record the event.
“This has been forwarded onto Group Captain Frank Grigson, Director of Air Force Centenary Events and the Hercules C130 crew as a gesture of our appreciation,” president of the Eurobodalla and Far South Coast National Servicemen’s Association Alan Shepherd said.
The Anzac Day slide presentation covers towns including Batemans Bay, Moruya , Tuross Head, Bermagui, Narooma and /Bega.
