Commencer Une Entreprise

On Sunday May 31st 2009, a small crowd of mostly middle-aged men wearing blue berets started gathering at 9.30 am outside Brisbane's City Hall. Many of them knew each other from their deployment, but even those who weren't previously acquainted warmly greeted each other, a sense of brotherhood uniting them.

Most of them have served in countries like Cambodia, East Timor, Afghanistan, Iraq, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Kuwait, and many more. Coming from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Police, these men and women have served the UN and have made Australia proud since their involvement in peacekeeping commenced in 1947 in Indonesia.

March and Ceremony

A small but solemn occasion, the Peacekeepers March is a chance to reunite, and show love, support and appreciation to those who have bravely put their lives at risk for peace around the world. The group marched two blocks on Adelaide Street, and were beautifully lead by the Australian Military Band from Brisbane. Traffic was diverted as they made their way from City Hall towards ANZAC Square.
