I'm glad you made this post, Trip, as i was going to make one of my own.
For those of you who are interested, this is how my ANZAC day played out;
I live about an Hour south of Melbourne, but it's kinda tradition that i go and see the dawn service at the Shrine of Rememberance. So, we left at about 4.30 in the morning, watched the service (If the Dawn service doesn't give you a lump in your throat, there's something wrong with you oOo: )
And, another ANZAC Day tradition in Old Melbourne Town, for those of you who don't know, is to go to the Football to see old rivals Collingwood and Essendon play for the ANZAC Cup. Unfortunately, Collingwood got OWNED cry: , But It's a really great day, because the Pre-match entertainment involves all of the armed forces, then we have the Bugle play "The last post", and then the national anthem.
This is, undoubtedly, my favorite day of the year!
Lest we Forget
Australia and New Zealand may give each other crap across the Tasman, but when it comes down to it, We couldn't hope for better Allies, and I'd like to think the Ol' Kiwi's feel the same biggrin:
