Taminick is an annual encampment of re-enactors from the black powder era. Competitions for the best camp, drill (skill at arms) and shooting were contested at the North Eastern Muzzle Loaders Club (Victoria) at Taminick black powder range (near Wangaratta). This year saw one of the biggest events so far. Excellent weather and a large camp.

The 95th was the host unit this year. This page covers the camp and some general events.

Starting a great day out

As hosts, we get to raise the flag ....	... take salutes .....
.... organize a volley .....	and make smoke!

The company camp - more tents than last year. NCO tents to left and right, officers to the rear. The real thing would have less chairs, and fires would not be permitted in the lines.		Riflemen John and John	Rifleman Peter and Cadet John (dressed in assorted bits and pieces)
