I'll either go to the service in the city or the one at Hilton. Then the city for the march and off to the footy.

I'll be going to local service, I was in Melbourne last year and didn't go to dawn service but the footy and have regretted ever since, should have made the effort to get up.

Keswick Barracks was good, pre service there was coffee (with a big measure of Bundy), tea etc, the service was quite long but very appropriate followed by breakfast ($4) in the Mess, bacon, scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausages, baked beans, bread rolls and plenty more coffee if you wanted it.
I got to meet a bloke who used to baby sit my younger brother and I when he was a teenager (about 45 years ago). I wouldn't have seen him since 1970 or 71

I got up at 8.15am, had a cup of tea, then remembered it was ANZAC Day.
Then I paused to remember all those who have lost their lives in wars - some of which have been worth fighting.
Sadly many were not so, but pointless except to provide a platform for posturing politicians...

I met her once at lunch at La Trattoria - we were introduced by former state ALP Minister Terry Groom.
She seemed pleasant enough to talk to, but we didn't get on to politics, beyond Terry introducing me as "one of yours."
