Cerberus Naval Base Open Day (including a large car display)

The Red Chev travelled down to Cerberus to be part of a very large turnout of  veteran, vintage and classic cars as part of the open day. A 94 mile round trip with no dramas.

A great day out for all involved, and I was able to see the location where my father, Harry James Dean, spent the last months of his naval service during the war.

Lots of pictures to get through, so I will keep the narrative to a minimum, except to make mention of the Royal Australian Navy campaign and Battle Honours board below, which lists several engagements that my father was part of on the HMAS Australia. http://www.navy.gov.au/hmas-australia-ii

Pacific 1941-1945
Coral Sea 1942
Caudal Canal 1942
Leyete Gulf 1944

With a large quantity of pictures, I have separated them into the relevant groupings. Just click on the link you would like to see.
