SCOOTAVILLE 2022
In early September of 2022, an assortment of Australian Defence Force Veterans, a couple of their wonderful partners/family members and Stu, our United States Air Force Veteran, set off on a 2500km-ish motorbike and pushbike journey from Rosewood (just west of Brisbane) destined for Townsville.
The why: to raise money for Legacy. And to have a bloody fun time whilst doing so.
An assortment they were - differing corps and musterings, time spent in, ages, some general enlisted, some officer… The list goes on. None of that really mattered though. They were all bound by one thing - their love for beer. And baked goods. Specifically pies. Oh, and their service to their country…
Here are some highlights shot on 35mm film:
