Today in Australia and New Zealand it is ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day. ANZAC Day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
Each year a dawn service is held at the Shrine of Remembrance in the Royal Botanic Gardens. A short stroll from the city, a wander through the gardens to the Shrine is a great way to see a wonderful part of Melbourne.
