This magnificent & significant monument, one of the largest war memorials in the world, commands views of the city & surrounds from the upper balconies.

White Hat criticism of Grocery Choice vindicated?
In August 2008 the Australian Government launched its
Grocery Choice website as part of an election promise which it said
would combat grocery price rises by publicising individual item price comparisons
between major distributors. White Hat believed to model was flawed
from the start and gave our reasons in the strong criticism we in
our food newsletter published two days after the launch of the site.
In June, the Australian Government suddenly and unexpectedly
terminated the scheme. You can read White Hat's initial criticisms
which could also prove useful in the implementation of any future
scheme at
The
White Hat Food Newsletter of August 2008. |
TOURISM NEWS
Qantas In Flight Magazine chooses
White Hat
Cemetery Tour as its featured Australian tour for May
There are many fine historical tours
throughout Australia including cemetery tours. From these, the

2007 edition. This tour was also featured by ABC radio on 24 May and

praise from a wide range of sources. This is not a dry and stuffy
tour but in keeping with all White Hat offerings it is Informed,
