ANZAC Day
Today is ANZAC Day here. We can’t believe we had never heard of it. It
means Australia New Zealand Army Corps and is basically like our
rememberance day but a bit more upbeat.
We didn’t make the dawn service (at 5am) but did see some of the march
through town which went on for 4 hours! It was really good and there
was a great atmosphere. For some reason, after the march most pubs
have a game of ‘Two Up’ for a few hours where you can bet on the
outcome of two coins thrown into the air amongst a very rowdy crowd.
Tonight Matt & Mel invited us along to their friend’s party where we
have had our 1st Aussie barbie on a balcony over looking the city.
One guy arrived having just lost ยฃ100 at the pub playing two up. Eek!
