Today marks the beginning of National Reconciliation Week. This year's theme is All In, a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.

All In makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take action to make change.

The theme also reminds us that reconciliation and advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights isn’t a passive activity, and it is not solely the responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried the weight of championing, explaining and acting for far too long.

Reconciliation will not happen by itself, and it will not happen without all of us.

18-year-old Dylan purchased his 1974 Holden Torana after saving up his part-time wages working at Bunnings. He has worked tirelessly to restore the vehicle himself, with the help of his brother Jameson, and did a full engine rebuild! ⚙🚘

Since then, his family caught the classic car bug and have purchased another two more vehicles!

Dylan's mum, Leanne, works in disability and they have built strong friendships amongst her clients. Dylan and his family always bring them along for the ride and to experience the Finish Festival! A lovely young man with a big heart, sharing his passion with his family and community - that is what it's all about! Let's show Dylan some love in the comments 👇🏻

On Anzac Day we remember our troops who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations.

This postcard was sent from Cairo, Egypt to James Ralston of the Port Adelaide area on 16th December 1915. During WWI, Anzac troops were trained in Egypt prior to entering the Gallipoli peninsula and the Western Front. Egypt also served as a hospital base to treat wounded troops prior to their long voyage back to Australia and New Zealand.

Although presumably friends of Mr Ralston, we do not know the exact identity of the soldiers in this photograph; where they fought or their fate. This is often the case with many similar images from past conflicts. Today we remember all who served, even those whose names we don't know.

After not being able to bring his car to Australia from the USA, Brody Baker wasn't sure he'd get to drive a 1965 Chrysler again. 🇺🇸 Then he met the previous owner of his New Yorker Hardtop at the 2022 Bay to Birdwood and got the opportunity to own one again! Now he relives great memories of his time in the US with his family here in SA. 🙌
