Another Sausage Sizzle Success

Join us! Enquire about membership and what we do by clicking the tabs on this site. 

We run three sausage sizzles annually and invariably benefit from excellent community support.

Here are several photos of our Mitre 10 Sausage Sizzle on 25 October 25. Heavy rain and thunderstorms were predicted, but fortunately, they arrived half an hour after we had packed up.

In the photo at right from left to right are Andrew, Craig, Judi, and Dawn. Member volunteers usually have a fun time running our Sausage Sizzles and Foodland Memorabilia Days preceding ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. (We'll be at Foodland Tanunda on 4th and 5th November just before Remembrance Day)

Our appreciation to Mitre 10 for allowing us to use their premises and providing sausages.

Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited (EOS) has been awarded a contract to supply remote weapon systems (RWS) for the Australian Defence Force’s LAND 400 Phase 3 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) program.

The multi-year contract, valued at $108 million, was awarded by Hanwha Defence Australia (HDA), the prime contractor to the ADF on LAND 400-3.

This order includes delivery of RWS, spare parts, training, and documentation.

Under the agreement, EOS will deliver an enhanced R400 RWS, purpose-built to meet the Australian Army’s operational requirements and fully integrated with the AS21 Redback IFV.

Manufacturing of the RWS will be undertaken at EOS’ facility in Canberra, drawing on a well-established national supply chain of more than 100 Australian companies.

EOS’ RWS are world leading, proven in operational service with militaries in Australia, North America, Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

EOS has delivered more than 2500 systems globally, of which more than 700 have been delivered or are contracted for delivery to the Australian Army.

EOS CEO Andreas Schwer said this contract was a win for Australian industry, and EOS was delighted to be working with Hanwha Defence Australia on this critical project for Army.

“The work will be carried out here in Australia, supporting skilled jobs, strengthening our sovereign defence manufacturing base, and showcasing the capabilities of local suppliers on a national program of strategic importance,” Dr Schwer said.

Project LAND 400 Phase 3 will see 129 IFVs delivered to the Australian Army.
