Come together this ANZAC Day in the Shire

The soft glow of the sun rising while we listened to the silence and remembered, we said thanks to those who were lost, and to those who are still with us. Last year we all stood at the end of our driveways with candles and wreaths, and held our own Dawn Services to commemorate our fallen heroes. Lest we forget.

This year we are all eager to go back to the old ways and with COVID-19 Restrictions being lifted, we make our way slowly back to a reasonable normalcy. There will be Dawn Services held throughout the Banana Shire, while also offering Breakfasts, Morning Services, Marches and lunches.
