2025 Mid-Winter Gathering

On Saturday, 19th July we had our Mid Winter Gathering.

Members, family and friends travelled from as far away as Rushworth, Shepparton, Geelong, Melbourne and Ballarat.

It was great to see former soldiers from 2 RVR, 22 RVR, 8/7 RVR as well as some mates from 1 RVR and National Service, mingling and sharing memories and experiences.

Thanks to Ballarat Football Netball Club for hosting us and making us feel most welcome.

Dee Belleville hand stitched the RVR Artwork. Looked awesome.

Bravery and Betrayal

The untold story of the Aussie S.A.S. in Afghanistan and Iraq —told by the soldiers, leaders, and families who lived it.
