Mareeba Military Muster

The results for the 2017 Mareeba Military Muster have been compiled.  This year set a new record in crowd numbers with just over a thousand members of the public supporting the event.  The organizers were overwhelmed with the positive support from the public.  A huge 'thank you' to the awesome team at the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum of Cairns who have gone beyond the call of support for the Military Muster.  The North Queensland Historical Re-enactment Society from Townsville will also be back next year with a new display for 2018.  Planning has already commenced for the 2018 Mareeba Military Muster with the grounds of the Mareeba Turf Club having become the event's new home after its early beginnings in Ravenshoe in 2009.  Next year's Muster marks a very special occasion as it will celebrate ten years of the Military Musters in Far North Queensland.  The organizers are actively trying to locate people who have a passion for the North Queensland military history, own military vehicles or want to display their collections.  If you want to be involved in celebrating ten years of the Military Muster, please sent an email or contact the organizer - Michael Musumeci.  It was decided that proceeds from this Mareeba Military Muster will go towards a well overdue memorial in Biboohra for Pilot Lt Andrew Duke.
