Some of last years Australia Day (2008) photo's.

A different place and a different time. But still we were there.

It was hot that day too. We were glad there was some shade and the Australia Day service started early in the morning.

Next time more sun shade and drink bottles will be requested to be brought. Just in case it is better to Be Prepared.

Australia Day 09

On the 26^th of January 2009 some of the Churchill / Hazelwood Girl Guides made their way over to the Churchill Community Hall, to start the Australia Day ceremony.

This is one event that the Guides and Scouts share. The little kids get to give out flags and the Australian National Anthem (song) sheets.

We started the ceremony with the color party coming forward. The color party then had to raise the flag (Although they only had to do was pull a string to release the flag). Last year Jessica and I were in the color party. I had to raise the flag then too.

After the flag got put up we sang the Australian National Anthem.

This year I got out of colour party and instead I took some magnificent photos trying to keep in the shade. It was hot.

You have to be joking! Fun in Guides. OR: What do you do there?

Guiding has been around for years. You've heard all about it. So why not get involved with it. Actually give it a go.

That's what this blog is all about. Those girls (and sometimes the adults too) have actually done these things. Some have gone on and made their Guide Promise while others chose not too.

Give these things a go yourself. Then blog us back how you went. Did you show your friends, get them involved or were you to afraid they would laugh behind your back.

Know a better way...blog ahead or contact us the old fashioned way on whynotgirlguides@gmail.com.
