The 80th Anniversary of the SYDNEY II loss 19th Nov 2021 in Geraldton	15-19 Nov 2021 Port Kennedy / Geraldton WA	From: Adrian Burns (Radar) Lead Contact and Liaison HMAS Sydney II 80th Anniversary 2021 We are looking at an all ranks, all rates, mass gathering of all ex-HMAS SYDNEY crews regardless of which SYDNEY one served on; era; deployment or year. I’ve been working behind the scenes with a lot of very experienced and senior ex-SYDNEY crew members along with the Greater City of Geraldton Teams and external associates to bring this idea to bear. The current plan is to have a meet and greet at the Port Kennedy RSL WA (Ex-HMAS SYDNEY Crews Only) on Monday the 15th Nov 2021; date TBC, and thereafter all parties head up to Geraldton for the memorial anniversary. A meet and greet may also be planned for Geraldton but TBC. With the commissioning of the new Sydney V next year we have a one off opportunity to have 3 generations of HMAS SYDNEY’s together in the one place at the same time to commemorate the loss of the SYDNEY II. I shall keep it brief and will advise more details, ie: Event website registration Port Kennedy WA RSL, Greater City Geraldton website etc. as we progress along with the idea, plans, and the possible inclusion of SYDNEY V. I have made contact with the current President of the HMAS SYDNEY Association in WA (Harvey Dennison) for which RADM MARK BONSER AO,CSC RAN Rtd is the patron. I anticipate to receive his full support behind this idea and plan to meet with him at the first available opportunity. Thanks to all for their kind support thus far and I look forward with working and updating numerous groups to bring this special project to fruition. The following list of Contacts, Supporting Groups, Associations and Individuals have given their full backing/support for the idea along with their valuable assistance, guidance and knowledge.
