We are so glad we did, it was a great experience and the kids were mesmerised by all the marching bands and 'diggers'. They watched and waved their Aussie flags for 2 1/2 hours!

March.
Jonty had been begging us all week to go and watch the Anzac Day March in the city, we were not that keen, but relented. (He really loves anything to do with the army, and often begs us to send him to 'Military School'...)

What a fantastic experience for the kids. I saw some of the march on TV, but nothing beats being there in person.
Don't know whether you were able to see Dad's unit, the ANGAU's. Alan Powell has written a book about them ("The Third Force: ANGAU's New Guinea War 1942-46"). He describes the ANGAU's as "arguably the most ubiquitous and most neglected unit of the Australian Army in World War 2's New Guinea campaign".
Hope you had lots of chicken feet at Yum Cha!!
Lots of love, Nana Jan.
