HMAS Parramatta IV just returned from the Gulf and "requests" the Freedom of Entry to the City of Parramatta. This is a re-enactment of an old English tradition, but is particularly special because HMAS Parramatta IV (ANZAC class frigate) bears the name of Australia's very first warship which in 2010 celebrated her 100 year old name and therefore Australia's oldest (see http://www.chianglim.com.au/component/option,com_gallery2/Itemid,111/?g2_item...)
Makes me proud to be an Australian
