QUEEN’S BATON RELAY – Commonwealth Games 2018

Public and ceremonial events like this are no stranger to LACW(AAFC) Liz Gardner of No. 617 Squadron – Netherby, who was recently nominated to be one of the Baton Bearers for The Queen’s Baton Relay for the Commonwealth Games as the Baton made its way through the town of Hahndorf, SA.

Serving as a Leading Aircraftwoman (AAFC) since August 2017, after a year as a civilian instructor and following on from a seven year career as a cadet where she achieved the rank of Cadet Warrant Officer.

The Queen’s Baton has been making its way through the Commonwealth since leaving Buckingham Palace on 13 March last year. This tradition continued in Hahndorf (Day 58) where the relay ran down the Main Street, finishing with a special celebration in Pioneer Park Gardens.

Congratulations to Liz – a great ambassador for the Commonwealth Games and also the Australian Air Force Cadets!!

The Australian Air Force Cadets acknowledges this country and its traditional custodians.

We acknowledge and respect the spiritual relationship between the traditional custodians and this country which is inspired by language of songs, dance law and dream time stories over many thousands of years and we pay our respect to the elders who have passed into the dreaming, those here today, and those of tomorrow. May we continue to peacefully walk together in gratitude, respect and kindness in caring for this country and each other.
