Anzac Day in Corona Times

We woke up at 5.30am and watched the commemoration at the War Memorial in Canberra. At 6 am we all walked out onto our drives and we heard our young neighbour, Cayden play "The Last Post" in front of the eternal flame that his dad had lit up. The children put up their handmade sign of "Lest we Forget" and their beautiful wreath of poppies. All the street stood in silence in remembrance of all the lives lost. Those who were able to wore their medals with pride and shared stories of how they or their grandparents had come to have them. Another neighbour, Kim had the generosity to organise a sausage sizzle for the whole street. Her husband Pat had set it all up in the street. We socially isolated but chatted away catching up on all the street's news. We met new neighbours and started planning for the next get together of the street. 

A moving tribute to the Anzacs in changing times. The Aussie spirit quickly adapting and changing but never flagging or failing.
