Wall to Wall - Ride for Remembrance<br />
before the enormity of the ride was<br />
upon us as we rode into the grounds.<br />
Hundreds upon hundreds of<br />
motorcycles lined up on a cloudless<br />
Canberra afternoon. From Harleys<br />
to Vespas, all motorcycles were side<br />
by side, and the task of getting the<br />
now 1,500 or so riders to the National<br />
<strong>Police</strong> Memorial probably had the AFP<br />
organiser just a tad concerned.<br />
Saturday 14 September, so plan your<br />
trip now, and join in this great event.<br />
Senior Sergeant Bradyn Murphy has<br />
been chosen as the National Chairman<br />
for the 2013 National Wall to Wall Ride<br />
for Remembrance, and Senior Sergeant<br />
Andrew Frick is the <strong>Queensland</strong><br />
Coordinator. Contact them for further<br />
information about next year’s event:<br />

The ride eventually weaved its way<br />
through the streets of Canberra, taking<br />
in the roads leading to Parliament<br />
House on the journey to the National<br />
<strong>Police</strong> Memorial.<br />
At the memorial, a moving ceremony<br />
was conducted, and it was a great<br />
pleasure to see Julie Stiller attend. I<br />
am sure that the pain of losing Dan is<br />
still ever-present for Julie, but it was<br />
great to see her in the crowd, looking<br />
on as we remembered Dan and all the<br />
other officers who have had fallen in<br />
the line of duty.<br />
Next year’s ceremony at the National<br />
<strong>Police</strong> Memorial will be held on<br />
