While traditional dawn services and marches are not possible this year, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, it is important for community to unite in the ANZAC spirit and collectively honour the dedication, commitment and sacrifice of our service people.
Some ideas for how you can get involved at home:
- Stand on your driveway, at your gates, on your balcony or verandah, or even in your living room at 6am this Saturday (25/04/20) to remember all those who have served and sacrificed.
- Dress your windows and mailboxes with poppies - For ideas or child friendly craft ideas using household items such as coloured paper, egg cartons, paper plates, cupcake liners, felt, etc. visit the RSL Queensland website: https://rslqld.org/News/Latest-News/How-to-make-an-ANZAC-Day-wreath
