Detail: What does awesome look like...LIKE THIS!!!




Once the Queen and her minions settled down from looking so awesome, they moved out to spread such joy to the children who resided within the wards of the Royal Childrens Hospital.
Things started off a little slow as the troops, like always, had trouble figuring out which end of the elevator to vacate...




However, the troops did eventually find their way...




All involved in this epic troop, did an outstanding job putting the smile on the kids faces. I'm sure I can safely say, that all were proud of each others efforts. We did have one casualty though...the baby Jawa found it all a bit much. The price to pay for being a very popular addition to the troop!



The Jawa youngling was rushed to the ward where it recovered quickly.



With another very successful troop nearing the end...the heat of the day was creating tensions...



And disorientating the troops.



Thankfully with the mix of air conditioning and beverages, the galaxy found order once again. Especially now that Supatrooper finally got to troop with his BFF Oevil1. It's been a long time coming.



Time to celebrate!!! The queen and her minions returned to the Wonder Factory to unwind. Sithprincess and Oevil1 managed cut a new move on the dance floor called the "Tim-Tam"



And Jawa Rebel Rach showed her talents with a game of friendly pool.




Time for a personal note:
There is always one child that stands out at these type of troops. And on this troop there was certainly one who did. The poor child was a victim of serious burns, with the majority of the child's body scarred and distorted from the horrific accident. Never before had I been confronted by such an innocent victim. And never before had I seen the unmeasurable value and importance these troops really are.

For the few minutes we spent with this child and the family, all their problems faded away. And the poor child in the bed, was now a bright and happy child once again! To see this child bounce up (with almost uncomfortable movements), reach across the bed and take a flurry of pictures was indeed humbling.

A big thankyou to this child and family. A big thankyou to my extended family...the Redback Garrison.
