  Speaker 2: for all Australians and New Zealanders, but particularly for us
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: here in the Northern Territory. I've got to say though,

  Speaker 2: that two up is always a bit of a crowd favorite,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: isn't it, amper it is.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: It's surprising in relations to you know how many people
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: just just love to get involved, you know, in the tour,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: but also and NAMSAC Day, especially this year because last
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: year we couldn't you know, have it as a as
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: a group function. We're all basically on our driveways. So yeah,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: it's good to be able to get back and you know,

  Speaker 3: be with all the servicemen and women and to also
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: to you know, thank them for being in the service
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: and also to commemorate those that we've loved.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you spot on, And are you anticipating quite large
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: numbers given the fact that last year we weren't able
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to commemorate our anzas in the way that we usually.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Would look we are actually basically because we did have
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: quite a lot of people that were very disappointed that
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: they couldn't attend Memorial Park for the actual service last year.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: So yeah, we are anticipating with that, we are a
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: lot that want to come out and support.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Now, no doubt that if anybody is after further info,
• 2:28
