Pic: Tom Chamberlin Source: The Courier-Mail BUNDABERG residents have farewelled the army this morning with hundreds lining the town's main street. Parents and children waving the Australian flag lined Bourbong St to get a final glimpse of the army, which was sent in after the devastating flood almost two weeks ago. Hundreds of personnel - many who have served in Afghanistan - helped in the critical cleanup of hundreds of homes, undertook surveillance of communities and coordinated food drops . They have also helped restore access to the Tallon Bridge. Locals have presented certificates of appreciation to the army while also slapping Mud Army stickers on the vehicles driving through town for the last time.
