An update on life: With full time work these days and the amount of effort required for everyone to get Pro Patria Centre (PPC) an apology goes out for the low time that has and can be placed into VFO.

However, with interest at Defence Shed Wagga (DSWW) and PPC to rekindle Veteran 4x4 trips, we have done a recent recce of a great Riverina High Country drive and would like to get the 4x4 scene up and going again.

Please reach out via VFO / PPC / DSWW if you are interested in joining the next trip to the high country or any future trips. Would be great to turn this back into the 10+ vehicles again.

A BIG WAGGA SHOWDOWN BETWEEN TWO CONTENDERS

AUSTRALIA'S BEST BEANIE ROUND 4 - Sponsored by Cobrapparel Custom Cord Caps. No matter what style you're after, our Corduroy caps have been a massive hit! Kit out your team by sending us a message today!

HEAD TO HEAD 9
The Blamey (NSW)
vs
Sunflower House Wagga (NSW)

Wagga splitting with nothing between them as the Lake Albert local takes on the amazing Wagga organisation!

The Blamey 🍔🥩

TOTAL VOTES – 954
AVERAGE VOTES – 477
TOTAL FB – SHARES - 28
AVERAGE FB SHARES – 14
ROUND 1 – BYE
ROUND 2 – beat Queanbeyan Whites (NSW) 66% (485 votes)
ROUND 3 – beat Maiden Gully Primary School (VIC) 53% (469 votes)

Two solid rounds from the Blamey to mark their debut in our competition. Their opponent has shown they are capable of around 600, but in a Wagga/Wagga matchup will their allegiances still lie with the Sunflowers? Very interesting to see how this pans out!

Sunflower House Wagga 🌻

TOTAL VOTES – 982
AVERAGE VOTES – 491
TOTAL FB – SHARES - 41
AVERAGE FB SHARES - 21
ROUND 1 – BYE
ROUND 2 – beat Fair Bump (NSW) 64% (392 votes)
ROUND 3 – beat Crookwell Senior Green Devils Football Club (NSW) 53% (590 votes)

Any time someone knocks out former runner ups and powerhouses the Crookwell Green Devils you have to take notice. Willed into this head-to-head off the back of a strong community, the charity is starting to make waves. Beat the Blamey and move into the Round of 16 and the rest of the competition will start to get very worried!

----COMP INFORMATION BELOW----
WHAT DOES THE OVERALL WINNER GET? Not only are they owning the title of Australia's Best Beanie, they will receive a brand-new Australian made TRADIE TRAILER, registered, and branded thanks to Pete from Impact Signs & Designs. The trailer package is almost $6000! 🏆🎉🥂

WHAT COULD YOU WIN AS A VOTER? This year on EVERY POLL on both Facebook and Instagram Stories, we’ll randomly pick a name who will go into the draw to win a WEEK AWAY IN KING ISLAND. See our pinned post for more details. Pretty good reward for your astute judgement hey!

HOW TO VOTE: React with the appropriate emoji to the post as directed in the photo. Instead of ‘liking’, hold down the like button on your phone and it'll give you the option to ‘react’. The corresponding face (Wow or Laughing) in the graphic above is who you’re voting for. We don't count comments with emojis, but feel free to show you're support by commenting them! 😮😂

IN THE EVENT OF A TIE – The higher ranked beanie will go through. Rankings are based on the average votes of beanies in prior rounds.

REACTIONS on THIS original post are all we're able to count. Sharing is a great way to accrue votes, but the reactions have to be on this post ON our page!!

VOTING ON INSTAGRAM
Instagram: Go to our Instagram stories (tap our profile picture) and tap until the poll comes up. Then simply tap your beanie in the poll!

REMEMBER: Results are the COMBINED votes from our INSTAGRAM STORY poll and this Facebook one. We've seen beanies win one poll, but still lose overall. Facebook reactions will be recorded 24 hours’ time after the post was made.

Please remember this is a free competition with the intention of highlighting clubs, schools, businesses and organisations. The goal here is to build and strengthen community spirit. All possible efforts will be made to remove fake accounts. Any fake accounts found voting will be subtracted from the score. Memes are more than encouraged. Abuse isn’t.

Cobrapparel’s competitions and giveaways are not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Instagram, Facebook or Meta. For terms and conditions of promotions please email hello@cobrapparel.com.

From past results, we've noticed that sharing and tagging has helped win a few extra votes, naturally.

Best of luck, we'll be back tomorrow with the results. 🤞☘️

So, which beanies better?

💥ROYAL COMMISSION GO-AHEAD💥
PM Scott Morrison has just announced a Royal Commission into Veteran Suicides:
Themes of Consultation: https://www.dva.gov.au/royal-commission-defence-and-veteran-suicide-themes-consultation
📧Email submissions: ROYALCOMMISSION@dva.gov.au

Last month's unanimous vote in the Senate called for a RC to be established, with that motion supported in the House of Reps - but only the executive (Cabinet) can seek to establish one via the Governor General.
We've been waiting weeks to see what the government's next move would be - now we have it: a Royal Commission is on the way!
Keep an eye on the terms of reference as they will determine just how effective a RC will be and what comes from it.
More to come!

Excellent day exploring the Goodradigbee River valley with some of the Defence Shed crew.

Fantastic to see likeminded ex ADF and ex Police getting together to burn some diesel!

We are really keen to start building the 2021 calendar for 4x4, fishing, paddock to plate (hunting and meat prep), and equine trips.

Thanks to those who came along, made my day to see everyone having fun
