After I recorded this podcast, and as part of a school holiday road trip, I packed up my 2 boys and we headed to Shepparton and met up with John who took us out to see the site of Camp 1 and the German War Cemetery..  We visited the Tatura Wartime Camps Museum and thanks to Bill who showed us around.  I will post some photos and videos up to our social media feeds.  We are keen to hear your feedback by leaving a review on your podcast app.   Your reviews helps new listeners find our podcast.  If you have any special requests or suggestions for our podcast, please get in touch.
