Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. It now more broadly commemorates all those who died and served in military operations for the country.
Like most other towns and cities across Australia, Alice Springs holds a memorial service at dawn and a parade thru town a bit later in the day. Your truly wasn’t able to make it to the dawn service because a pressing engagement (my head was busy pressing on the pillow), but I was on hand for the parade.
