A.N.Z.A.C. Wide Game Evacuation of Egypt.

Sing some songs that the A.N.Z.A.C.’s sung on their return trip back to Australia and New Zealand.

Songs like

• Pack up your old kit bag.
• Quartermasters store.
• Waltzing Metilda.
• Bound for Botany Bay
• It’s a long way to Tipperary

On your return to Australia have a cuppa Billy Tea and some A.N.Z.A.C. biscuits.

Hold a challenge with the other Patrols as to how to swing a Billy of Tea.

Interesting to have a group of youth trying to swing a Billy of tea.  Make sure that the contents are cold though.  Scolds and Burns do not equate with     Duty of Care factors.

Quarter Masters Store song

There are rats, rats, rats as big as alley cats

In the store, in the store

There are rats, rats, rats as big as alley cats

At the Quartermaster’s store
