Rare MicCanberra Posted February 26, 2015 #27 Share Posted February 26, 2015 And am I right that this will be added to at future Ports as well? I would think so, but as Gallipoli is mainly a Aus/NZ thing it is likely to mainly get contributions while in our waters.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare roscoe39 Posted February 27, 2015 #28 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I would think so, but as Gallipoli is mainly a Aus/NZ thing it is likely to mainly get contributions while in our waters.:D well only 4 hours later heres what it looks like....I dont think there is much room for the Ozzies to put any poppies on, the front and back are both chocka! Maybe they'll discretely remove some so there is room??? mmmmmm Anyway great response. After the ship departs tonight The "100" will reappear in Sydney then go onto Gallipoli.

Rare roscoe39 Posted February 27, 2015 #29 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thank you for the photos and the updates. Its getting a lot of media coverage which should ensure the wall grows and grows throughout the day. I believe some of the RSA's (RSL in AU) have been making poppies and will be taking them down as well. You must have been up real early Roscoe:D Great shots:) no earlier than you Kiwi Kruizer! I think you've hit the docks pretty early in the past. She docked at 6 and had a great view of her sailing up the harbour from 5.30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare roscoe39 Posted February 27, 2015 #33 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Maybe they should order another '100' or an 'ANZAC'. hoping you can report once it gets to Sydney and let us know how they managed it...i think they might take some off perhaps...but the ANZAC addition is a pretty good one.... been a great day on the docks hope the visitors enjoyed it.

Im sure they will do something closer to the ship arriving in Sydney. It is too good a marketing opportunity not to. just in case you are interested... a fluff video piece on Campbell live, this was in addition to a news item earlier.. http://www.3news.co.nz/tvshows/campbelllive/kiwi-couple-aboard-anzac-cruise-to-gallipoli-2015022719#axzz3SvlD614p and from the national newspaper.. http://events.nzherald.co.nz/2015/cunards-queen-elizabeth-anzac-voyage/auckland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted February 27, 2015 #43 Share Posted February 27, 2015 They may have been waiting for pics from today's efforts. She's due in Sydney on Tuesday, and is overnighting at the OPT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted March 3, 2015 #47 Share Posted March 3, 2015 They have the '100' in Sydney. Saw it on TV and it looks like they started with it clean again - maybe, hopefully, a second one. It would be awful for those who put their poppies on the Auckland one to have them removed. Hoping to get in to see it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
