Commemorating Anzac Day Today marked the culmination of the Premier's Anzac Student Tour: Anzac Day. In the pitch darkness and silence before dawn on Mount Clarence, we solemnly remembered the servicemen and women who toiled through unfathomable hardship so that we could stand on Australian soil in peace and safety, as we did today. Our wreath was laid as the sun illuminated the horizon, and the ceremony of gratitude and reflection came to a peaceful close.

What I took away from today was that by remembering those who fought for our country, we are constantly reminded not only of the price of freedom, but also how fortunate we are to live in this country. Remembering those who never returned home shouldn’t be defined by a time or a date but by a memory and, after what I have experienced today, I believe that this should be taken into account every day.
