Anzac Day traditions
Memorial services for Anzac Day in Eumundi and across the hinterland captured the essence of why we remember those who served and sacrificed their lives in the Great War and other conflicts, and why we uphold these traditions which venerate our fallen. This year the first service was conducted by Eumundi State School students at the Town Square on Friday 22 April. Anzac Day Monday 25 April saw Dawn Services at Verrierdale, Yandina, Kenilworth and the Cooroy War Memorial
Cenotaph. Hundreds gathered at the Eumundi amphitheatre after the traditional march. These services continued the traditions which have become an integral part of Anzac Day services. Sprigs of rosemary and its evergreen fragrance remind us of the wild rosemary that grows on the Gallipoli Peninsula. One Digger brought home a small bush from Anzac Cove and planted it in the grounds of the Army Hospital in South Australia with cuttings propagated ever since. Cont. p3
