Just got back from our local dawn service and was pleasantly surprised by a good turnout . About 2 thousand people there paying respects to our armed forces. I didnt think much of acknowledging the abbos for whatever the fuck they did and although a young woman was chosen to play the bugle for the last post ,she actually nailed it so a reluctant thanks to her.
We didnt get a flyover by jets or old war birds but we did get a flock of cockatoos as the service wound up.
Anzac Day /ˈænzæk/ is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served."[1][2] Observed on 25 April each year, Anzac Day was originally to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli against the Ottoman Empire during World War I.

Thanks for sharing, mate.
I hadn't heard of this before.
