NumberOneSon, Dad and I went down to Kojonup yesterday for the unveiling and dedication of the AW Potts Memorial at Apex Park.

For the record, Kojonup, when travelling at a relaxed and not break-neck speed is about three hours from Perth on the Albany Highway.

We arrived about 11.30 and had time to wander around The Kodja Place, a very impressive local museum and community centre before settling into our fold up chairs to await the unveiling. We were there because Dad is mates with the secretary of the association who created the memorial and who is brother-in-law to the daughter of the said Brig. AW Potts; also Dad and NumberOneSon were at the launch of the memorial this time last year so they wanted to see it unveiled.

It was an impressive turn out. About 1200 people (I reckon) filled the park – there were kids waving flags, veterans, cadets, horses, the community came out in force. The G-G was there – he did the honours and then a commitee member got up and did the most effusive thank you speech I’ve ever heard. We were wondering where it was going at first as he extolled the virtues of our consititution and then the office of the G-G, but I’m sure listening to it he would have felt welcomed! I felt bemused.

We had a chat with Greg James, the sculptor – I was interested to hear that he took a mold of the top of the boulder Potts is standing on so that his feet stood naturally and you couldn’t see the metal spikes holding him to the rock.

Afterwards there was a traditional country afternoon tea back at The Kodja Place and I spent some time wandering around the rose garden. In the garden they have plaques which tell the story of three women. A Nyoongar woman, a farmer’s wife and an Italian farmer’s wife. Brilliant. If you go to Kojonup – take the walk around the garden. Beautifully done.

NumberOneSon got to shake the G-G’s hand and did the typical mumble when asked if he was going to grow up and be a soldier.

Now that would be a useful lesson for kids to do at school. How to answer the small talk of “important” people when they ask you about your future. “No sir, I’m interested in Geography/Botony/Whatever.” It’s such an important social skill.

Speaking of my nearly-a-teenager – I noticed another sign of impending puberty on the way back and have recommended Mitchem. 🙂 I’m such an embarrassing mother!
