Sorry 'Bout That is a hilarious book that captures the lighter side of the war in Vietnam, just as its title, a constant refrain of this war, captures the half-joking, half-serious, but always determined mood of its fighters.vietnamese conflict, 1961-1975 - cartoons, caricatures etc., vietnamese conflict, 1961-1975- - aneaudio, cdotes

The old Sunbury CFA station was situated in Evans Street where part of the Sunbury Shopping Square has been built. It was opened on that site in 1914. In 1969 a newer fire station was built in Evans Street on the opposite side of the road and closer to Macedon Street. From 1969 until 1978 the old fire station became a scout hall. In the early 2000s two new fire stations were built away from the main shopping area. One was built in Jackson Street, opposite the Ball Court Hotel and the other one was built on the corner of Gap Road and Elizabeth Drive. By locating them out of the immediate shopping centre which had become quite busy, it meant that access in and out of the new stations was quicker.
