Honouring the Light Horse legacy
By SIMONE KERWIN
AN event visiting the North East this March will honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served in the Australian Light Horse regiments. The Australian Light Horse Society’s Chauvel Australian Light Horse Ride will begin in Shepparton on March 4, and travel through this region over the Labour Day weekend. The first leg of the ride will travel Goorambat and Devenish on Thursday, March 6, to Thoona and into the Warby Range on March 7, on to Wangaratta on March 8, then to Eldorado on March 9, and on to Indigo Creek and Wodonga on March 10 and 11. While in the district, riders will stay at the Wangaratta Showgrounds on Saturday, March 8, and there are plans for a gathering at the Wangaratta RSL that evening. The first leg of the historic ride will continue until March 21, when it arrives in Harden (New South Wales), with a second leg to travel from Young to Tallangatta ■ Continued on Page 6
