Sound and video of Light Horse
Hear the story of the Battle of El Arish and why El arish is so named! It all has to do with Light Horse!
Pat Morrish of ABC Far North interviewed Cassowary Coast News Peter Kellett about the origins
of the 1922 soldier settlement off the Bruce Highway, El Arish or LA to locals.
Then have a look at a Light Horse operation at Beersheba, another prominent battle towards Jerusalem in WWI. Marvel at
the discipline!
For those officenados there is the classic Errol Flynn "Charge of the Light Brigade" from 1936. Enjoy and remember Chris
is looking for honourable teens and men, who can ride at a gallop and pick tent pegs out of the ground. We will follow this
amazing team!

delicious food and cakes and atmosphere. The dancers from Dance Works were excellent and so were the musicians.

superb night out seeing how others entertain themselves in the FNQ! Next one in June 2008 and the Christmas one in December.
