Local film premieres in Sydney

Granite Belt author Deborah Wheeler was thrilled that her documentary, Second Generation ANZAC: The Story of Alf Carpenter was listed as part of the official National Program for the 82nd Anniversary of the ANZAC Battle of Crete.

The Greek Herald sponsors of the premier and the Cretan Association of Sydney & NSW were said to be "delighted" when Deborah Wheeler and Jeff Hughes were able to attend the event in person. After the event, President of the association, Emmanuel Vitetzakis invited both contributors to the club house for a night of music, food and fun.

He said to Jeff Hughes as the end of the evening "Many thanks to you and Deborah Wheeler for coming to our home. I am glad you enjoyed it. It was a pleasure working with you also, to arrange such a memorable event."

Ms Wheeler said she is grateful to Southern Downs Regional Council for the support given "in making the film a reality".
