GP, Dr Benjamin Nelson and Practice Nurse, Louise Bowran spent the morning in Mitta Mitta on the 16th November and a total of 12 clients visited. Feed back from the local community was that the service was very welcomed and appreciated. In future clients would like more visits to occur with increased advertising of the planned dates. Locum GP, Dr Quinton Miles, Credentialed Diabetes Educator, Denise Johnston and Practice Nurse, Louise Bowran visited Dartmouth on the 17th November for the second clinic. Dr Miles was very amused at the prospect of seeing Dinosaurs in this high-risk area as indicated by the road signage. Another 12 Dartmouth community members took advantage of our clinic made possible from MPHN funding to allow us to go out to our communities. The Van was kindly provided by the POCHE Centre for Indigenous health in Albury and made visiting these communities so much easier as all our equipment is within the van. Community members benefited by having their skin checks performed and general health and wellbeing discussed. Our next Clinic will be held at Eskdale Hall on the 3rd December 2020.

01.01.2022 Remembrance Day 2020 Extract from the Australian War Memorial website On 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. With their armies retreating and close to collapse, German leaders signed an Armistice, bringing to an end the First World War. From the summer of 1918, the five divisions of the Australian Corps had been at the forefront of the allied advance to victory. Beginning with their stunning success at the battle... of Hamel in July, they helped to turn the tide of the war at Amiens in August, followed by the capture of Mont St Quentin and Pèronne, and the breaching of German defences at the Hindenburg Line in September. By early October the exhausted Australians were withdrawn from battle. They had achieved a fighting reputation out of proportion to their numbers, but victory had come at a heavy cost. They suffered almost 48,000 casualties during 1918, including more than 12,000 dead. In the four years of the war more than 330,000 Australians had served overseas, and more than 60,000 of them had died. The social effects of these losses cast a long shadow over the postwar decades.
