The City of Greater Geraldton wishes to advise local residents that they may hear a series of loud noises tonight, Thursday 19 November, as part of the 74th HMAS Sydney II Memorial Service.
At approximately 7pm, a large cannon shot will be fired as well as a display of multiple flares off the coast as part of the ceremony, kindly donated by the Geraldton Volunteer Marine Rescue and Midwest Fireworks.
The City also wishes to remind guests that there is a free shuttle bus service leaving from the QEII Centre from 5pm onwards as Gummer Avenue Carpark will be closed to traffic from 4:30pm to 8pm.
It is recommended that those people wishing to attend the ceremony allow themselves extra time in order to avoid arriving late.
The service will commence at 5:50pm.
For more information on the ceremony visit the CGG website http://ow.ly/UP9nM
Cathedral Avenue will be partially closed this weekend, due to the removal of three large dead trees in the area. The City is always reluctant to remove trees as they add to the liveability of the City. However in this case, the trees are dead and pose a serious risk to pedestrians and motorists.
Other trees in this vicinity will be pruned to remove their dead wood. Because of the height of the trees, specialist equipment will be brought up from Perth.
Traffic management will be in place from 7.30am - 3.30pm on Saturday 21 November and 9.00am-5.30pm on Sunday 22 November. Car Park No. 6 (the SGIO Car Park) will also be closed during this time.
This event is aimed at getting as many people as possible out walking to raise awareness of Lung Cancer, COPD, Lung and Respiratory Diseases, to spread the message that there are things you can do to reduce breathlessness and support groups like Yarraly available to all.
It doesn’t matter how far or little people can walk. Australian Lung Foundation will add up the distances walked by each participant across the country and track these on our On-line Map. A gold coin donation is all it costs to participate.
The walking event will be held in the park on the foreshore just north of Dome with participants doing laps beginning and ending at an information table. The idea is that groups are able to measure out and record the distances completed so that these can be tracked on Lung Foundation On-line Map.
All we need to do is –
If anyone would like to order Green TShirts as worn in above photo they are $10 ea.
Lungs in Action TShirt
Or a white or black Lungs in Action TShirt these are $18
Show Us your Lungs T Shirt
These Show Us your Lungs T Shirts are $30
These can be ordered by yourself directly with the Australian Lung Foundation or we can take your orders and make one bulk order. Size range for XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL. We will need numbers very quickly to ensure that they don’t get sold out and that the order has time to be sent across to us here in Geraldton.
If we could all please get behind this important event and support it would be great. Our lungs are so important to life yet get very little recognition.
