Festival of the Knob pick ups

[Ironside410]

Just north of Cairns (Queensland, Australia) there is a little place called Yorkey's Knob. Every year they hold the "Festival of the Knob" which is a fete/fair celebrating their founder.

This year I got there bright and early and found some very nice items on one of the first stalls I stopped at:

1. Royal Australian Transport Corp patch (era to be determined)
2. Three Australian armoured association badges
3. Three US armoured patches
4. A WW2 era USMC Raiders knife, unfortunately no sheath (interestingly this is the second of these I have found in the Cairns region in the last couple of years, probably due to the Tablelands being used as a training area before they embarked on their reconquest of the Pacific islands).
