1 Villers Bretonneux - I went to Villers Bretonneux in the Somme for the ANZAC Day ceremonies in April - After the war Australian schoolkids raised money to rebuild the school in the town. It is named 'Victoria College'.	2 Villers Bretonneux - In the windows of the school there were pictures of Australian animals that the schoolkids had made. This was my favorite.	3 Villers Bretonneux - The logo of the town is the kangeroo, and the Australian flag is flown everywhere. This is the front of the town hall.	4 Villers Bretonneux - This is the main cafe in town, notice the kangeroos.	5 Amiens	6 Amiens - This building is the main landmark in Amiens.

It reads "Never forget Australia".	16 Villers Bretonneux - The town is twinned with my home town of Robinvale. This is an old photo of Robinvale that I found.	17 Villers Bretonneux - When the two towns were twinned Robinvale donated a family of stuffed 'red' kangeroos. I think we need to give them some new ones as these had shrunk from age and were very scary looking.	18 Amiens
