So, I am looking for some tips on where to go for a dawn service on Friday.

I have been to Kings Park, and I didn't enjoy it due to the options of getting there the night before, or ending up 250m from the ceremony and not being able to even hear it (kinda detracts from the moment)

I also went to the Armadale one and left feeling completely underwhelmed.

I am trying to show my daughters what an amazing experience an Anzac dawn service can be, and how we should use it as a marker in our lives showing us we should NEVER take our country and lifestyle for granted, and to do this I need a really good dawn service to attend.

Your suggestions. Give them to me.

Hey stinky, im off to the National war memorial this year in Canberra. The best service ive ever attended was at Stockton NSW, centotaph is right on the beach and everytime the waves crash it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention....very moving. Try for somewhere along the coast over there for a similar experience.

LOL

You never know though, I would LOVE to do an Anzac service at the national war museum. That would be awesome.

The idea of being near water never occured to me. I will have to have a look and see what is available.

At this stage, the Fremantle service at Memorial Hill is looking pretty good. Anyone been to that one?

C'mon people, surely some of you must get up to a dawn service every now and again? :(

Firstly keep them / her away from Soldiers!!!!!!!!

you will know what I mean in say 15 years....

Secondly, Karrakatta or some of the other choco / reserve unit will have a service that is open to civvie's. call ahead and ask.

Units to try are 11/28 RWAR and 16 RWAR.

I will send pics of the dawn service from out here. We are having a 0430 service at HQ ISAF and then into a gunfire breakfast.

But my thoughts will be with the boys at the "Rock" at 4 RAR and the rest of the guys on Deployment across the other AO's.

Rest in Peace Luke Worsley, your name sits next to some of the greats of the Battalion.

Lest We Forget

Damn str8!!! I have a few mates in and ex service so I hear ya. (and its about 3 years, not 15 *cries* )

Def post pics of your service. That would be awesome!

I am gonna ring the "choco" (???) units tonight and see what they can tell me. Thnx man

5:40 a.m. Official Wreath Layers assembly opposite the entrance to the State War Memorial Precinct on Fraser Ave.

5:45 a.m. Commencement of the narration of military history in conjunction with actual historical military footage.

5:55 a.m. Catafalque Party mount Flame of Remembrance Memorial.

5:56 a.m. The Governor arrives

Wreath Laying Ceremony

The sounding of the 'Still' - 6:00 a.m.

Laying of Official Wreaths.

'Last Post' will be sounded.

'Two Minute Silence'.

(flags will be raised to the top of the mast and then lowered to half mast at the first note of the 'Last Post')

'Reveille' or 'Rouse' will be sounded.

(flags raised to masthead at ‘Reveille’)

The reciting of the 'Ode'

(this signifies the completion of the protocols of the Dawn Service.)

All City of Perth Parking open air carparks will be open on ANZAC Day. Fees will not apply at the following carparks between 6am-1pm – Terrace Rd, Point Fraser, Plain St, Queens Gardens, Fire Station and Entertainment Centre. Thereafter standard carpark fees will apply. Standard fees will apply at all other City of Perth Parking carparks at all times.

DON'T SAY CHOCO FFS!!!!

Why not?

You wanna play Soldier, that's fine..... Do it fulltime, wanna be a weekend warrior, don't expect to be called a Soldier, if you have transfered to Choc's from ARA thats fine, but then they are still labelled Choc's!!!!!

Crap Hats

lolz.... Just wanted to see what you had to say...

Still, strictly from a military perspective... Having a 'relatively' well trained reserve force is a paramount strategic value...

We might have to open a thread on Choco bashing as not to hijack this thread and wear the wrath of the mod.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
