Anzac Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Big day in Australia and NZ - everything closes up until 1pm. Was originally about veterans from WWI and WWII, but increasingly used to also remember vets from Korean War, Vietnam, the Middle East and Afghanistan. It also also a chance (in NZ at least) for celebrating the achievements of the Peace Movement and the role of conscientious objectors. It is about the only day in the year that we ave a serious national debate about our role in the world ad because its a serious debate the rednecks are nowhere to be seen.
Look forward to hearing about your adventure!!
