Denny, Eli & Billy.

Photo kindly taken by Brenton.

We met Brenton by chance in the Anzac Museum, Villers Bretonneux.

I was just leaving. I said "G'day mate"
Certainly wouldnt have been the first time those words had been uttered there.
After a while you don't always automatically registered Australian accents when your travelling in Europe...there was a brief pause before Brenton said "Gee its good to hear an Aussie accent"
Brenton came with us out to the Australian National Memorial. A top bloke and a good albiet brief travelling companion.
