Friends of the Odd Bods In Anzac Day March 2017

The 2017 Anzac March in Melbourne brought with it a little rain but mercifully not while the Friends of the Odd Bods were marching. As you would expect, the numbers of veterans marching this year was reduced although our turnout was impressive by comparison with other groups. 
Walter Eacott did not march this year although his presence with all the dignitaries at The Shrine was greeted with much enthusiasm as our group arrived on the forecourt.
A fine looking bunch.
Here are some photos from the day. We expect to have a video available on this website in the next day or two although you can see it now on Facebook if you search for Friends of the Odd Bods.

Jan Dimmick rides old style.
Doug Parry rides in comfort.
Our banner passes hallowed ground.


All eyes to the sky for the flypast.
The end of another march deserves a handshake.
Our banner gains attention.
Thanks again to our wonderful helpers from Wesley College.

  1. It was a privilege to proudly march and press on remembering with the odd bods again this year. Thanks to the friends, family, organisers, banner carriers etc.
