Canberra's Own Rock
Band
When you get this many people together, there is bound to me a number of
folks that are musically inclined. Canberra was fortunate to have a group
of these guys get together and provide a lot of terrific entertainment for their
shipmates. I'm sure that everyone on board appreciated and enjoyed their
every performance. I sure did.
