Tuesday 25th April 2017 - Anzac Day Public Holiday

I blogged about this previously - please read previous Anzac Day Blog.

A time to pay respect to all service men and women past and present who served in every war, conflict and peace keeping mission in our history. Those that sacrificed there lives and those that survived so we would have the peace and freedom we enjoy today.

To our Diggers - "Lest We Forget"

Today Anzac Day commemorations, services and marches are held around Australia and around the World starting with the traditional dawn services. Symbolised with Rosemary sprigs and poppies along with the sounds of "The Last Post", with a game of two up and lunch at the local pub or RSL afterwards.

Recommended

1. If you can't attend the dawn services - find a spot along Elizabeth Street to view the annual Anzac Day Parade between 9 am and 12 pm

2. Attend the Hyde Park Cenotaph for the commemorative service afterwards.

Above is a photo of the many memorials around Sydney. This particular one is located on Darling Street Balmain.
