Sale for Nambus trip

The Gosford City Sub-Branch of the Vietnam Veterans Federation of Australia will hold a trash and treasure sale on Saturday, February 5, from 8am at the office of the Vietnam Vets in Ettalong.

The sale will raise money for the Vietnam Vet's Nambus trip to Cobar High School on Sunday, March 13.

During the Nambus's trip to Cobar, it will visit a number of high schools along the way including Orange and Dubbo to educate school children on Australia's involvement in the Vietnam war, the history preceding, during and the aftermath of Australian military conflict.

The Nambus also aims to provide a form of therapy for the veterans who voluntarily man the bus, give educational talks and hold discussion with the students as well as promote and support the ethos of the ex-service and service community in the spirit of ANZAC.

The bus will leave on March 13, and will visit Orange and Dubbo before arriving in Cobar on March, 17.

It will depart Cobar on March 21, for Nyngan and then on to Dubbo and Orange again before arriving back on the Coast on Saturday, March 26.

The Nambus's trip to Cobar will be the first time it has travelled so far out West and was initiated by an email from Cobar High School history teacher Mr Ross Cain.

Mr Cain asked that the bus visit the school as students in the area miss out on the opportunity to see projects like the Nambus, due to their isolation.

Letters requesting donations were sent out once the decision was made to travel to Cobar and donations were received from a number of organizations all over NSW, Victoria and Queensland.

A number of fundraising activities were also organized including a sausage sizzle at West Gosford last month and a golf day held on Saturday, January 15.
