    Cheers you mob...I was woken this morning by an F-18 about 200 feet above my house...’WTH!?’ And the sound of the Merlin was in the air as well...Old men are marching again, and Australia has lined the streets to pay their respects...
    Lest we forget...

    2022 - ANZAC Day

    And this year we are able to march and pay respects after two years of remembering from the end of a driveway - Which was nice in its own way, but it didn't allow the vets to get together, something many look forward to each year.
    The Prime Minister was in Darwin for this year's ANZAC Day as a nod to the fact that its 80 years since the Darwin bombing of WW2.

    Anzac Day 2022 in Darwin sees Prime Minister Scott Morrison, deputy Labor leader Richard Marles, attend commemorations - ABC News

    The bloke in the middle is Scott Morrison (or SCOMO as he is known) Australia's Prime Minister.

    The ANZACS left their boats and stepped foot onto the beach at dawn so that is when we begin the Service.

    Every ANZAC Day the AFL have an ANZAC round and on the day Collingwood always plays Essendon...My beloved Collingwood Magpies won the game snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. The game was played in front of 95 thousand people at the MCG or is known as "The G". Picture 95 thousand people all being silent for 1 minute.
