Every year a small ceremony is held at the War Memorial at the bottom of the High St in Berwick (an outer suburb of Melbourne). Standing at the top end of the street, I caught the start of the parade as it made its way from the RSL on the adjoining street, past the Old Post Office built in 1884 (shown in the sketch) down to the War Memorial where the ceremony was held.
I joined the smaller crowd near the top end to watch a big TV screen showing the ceremony down the hill. Not as big a crowd this day as previous years probably due to the wet weather. A moving ceremony as always especially when hearing both the New Zealand and Australian anthems, two countries I have called home.
