Victorian Government House, Melbourne
On Thursday the 14th of May, 2009, I had the privilege to accompany my father, along with my mother and grandfather to Government House in Victoria. The purpose for the day was so my father could receive his AFSM, (Australian Fire Service Medal), that was announced on Australia Day. Only about five people were awarded the medal this year and the medals are quite scarce, so he is in good company. Other recipients of other awards included Julian Burnside QC and Justice Bernard Teague .
There was strictly no photographs during the service or applause, however I took a few shots whilst sitting waiting for proceedings to begin.
Myself and Dad.
congrats to your father Thomas ,

Must have been a great day for you and your father thomas, congrats. Great shots of a beautiful building, especially like the middle shot.
Well done to your Dad, he obviously deserves it.
Nice little set of images too, I like the processing.
I didn’t know you were a Victorian, well, I still don’t. You might have just visited
I really like the middle photo of the structure
Thank you everyone for your comments.
Very proud of Dad.
I live in Western Victoria Katie, at the Grampians.
