It might be 94 years since the ANZACS took those first steps onto ANZAC Cove in what was to be the fight to save the Commonwealth as we then knew it. It turned into a tragic battle for the young Australians that took that step so that the people of Australia could remain living in a free world.
Today the people of Australia still meet to pay their respects to those who paid the ultimate price on all our behalves. Whilst one might think that time might be dulling our memories the opposite is actually true as growing numbers of Australians pay their respects at ANZAC Day commemorations all around Australia. People are still somewhat subdued by the weight of the meaning of ANZAC Day.
The arrangements for the Maleny area are as follows:-
- 4.26 am Dawn Service at the RSL Memorial Hall followed by Gunfire Breakfast.
- 9 00 am Witta Cemetery Service.
- 9.45 am Maleny Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital Service.
- 10.30 am ANZAC Day March. (Form up on Maple Street at corner of Fig Street at 10.15 am).
- 10.45 am Commemorative Service.
- 12.00 am Lunch, Entertainment and Traditional Games Afternoon.
