ANZAC Day

A different world and a different ANZAC Day. For the last 23 years our Air Force Cadets have supported the march through Melbourne and stood with the crowd at the Shrine to pay their respect to and reflect on our ANZACs and all other men and women who have fought for Australia over the years. This year, the march was cancelled and the cadets, along with other Melbournians, were asked to pay their respects in their driveway at dawn. And so we did. Thanks to CFSGT Murray for creating the collage and to all the cadets and their families for participating in the Driveway Vigil.

Cadets are still meeting every Monday, albeit in a digital Parade through Microsoft Teams.

ANZAC Day Competition
