Reserve Forces Day - Wondai
Today is Reserve Forces Day, which commemorates the two million-plus Australian men and women who've served in the ranks of the Army, Navy and Air Force Reserve since 1948 and also recalls the many thousands who served in the militia and other volunteer formations in the years prior to that. Wondai will be marking the event with a flag-raising ceremony outside the former Wondai Shire Council chambers in Mackenzie Street at 10:00am, and then a parade which will march off at from the Post Office paddock at the eastern end of Mackenzie Street at 11:00am. The Parade is open to anyone who served in the CMF or in the reserves of any of the three Service Arms at any time, as well as any Regulars or Nasho’s. Naturally, spectators are encouraged to come along and wave the flag to show their support! Wondai is the smallest centre in Australia to hold a Reserve Forces Day parade, but it's always well supported. More details?

Kilkivan Stock Horse Futurity & Ute Show
- The second - and final - day of the 2012 Kilkivan Stock Horse Futurity and Ute Show will be held at Kilkivan Showgrounds in Kilkivan from 8:00am this morning through until late afternoon. The Futurity will focus on Australian stock horses and organisers expect a good roll-up that will please most horse fanciers. The Kilkivan Showgrounds were almost wiped out in the January 2011 floods, but after 18 months of intensive reconstruction they're looking very spruce and modern these days. So if you'd like to camp there over the weekend, you can do so at no charge. There's also no charge to view the Futurity or the Ute Show, and everyone is welcome along. More details? Phone Mary-Anne on (07) 5484-1154.
