Not sure how you are going to spend another long weekend? We complied a list of iso activities for you and your family.

ANZAC Day Driveway Dawn Service

Honour ANZACS from your driveway – Stand on your balcony or in your driveway for the dawn service. RSL branches have endorsed and encouraged the gesture of families nationwide standing out at 6am holding candles or a torch for the fallen.

Tune in to the ABC Radio, 6PR, 96FM and 6IX for the dawn commemoration that will include The Ode, The Last Post and one minute’s silence. 

Fire up the BBQ for a gunfire breakfast of bacon, eggs and sausages… plus a mug of (rum-spiked) tea or coffee to toast the fallen.
