50 years since the moon landing

At the end of these coming holidays there will be celebrations of a significant event: the first manned landing on the moon, that of Apollo 11, took place on 20 July 1969 (US time) and in Australia it was 21 July. In those days the coverage of a live international event was quite special. Some Dominic College old scholars, who were in school at our predecessor schools, St John’s, Savio and Holy Name, offered some memories.
