Anzac Day

Anzac day today in Australia... it's a national public holiday when the Aussie army Corps who served with the New Zealanders at Gallipolli in Turkey in 1915 are remembered.  No school today although Oli represented the school in a parade and wreath laying ceremony at Cotton Tree in Maroochydore.  Very moving as all the services were present along with the veterans from Viet Nam, Malaya etc... Very moving indeed: hard to believe that Viet Nam conflict was around 40 years ago.  The occasion was extremely well supported: lots of flag waving and cheering, army jeeps and zimmer frames! Lest we forget ♥
