Hey friends,

As part of our ANZAC services this week we are pleased to announce a fly-past at approx 10:00am on ANZAC morning.

So, for those attending our Gunfire Breakfast or living nearby, we recommend you head outside and look to the heavens to see the P-8A Poseidon aircraft go past.

It's made possible thanks to the RAAF Base - Edinburgh SA.

A huge amount of dedication, effort and time goes into each of our Anzac commemorative services so it was disappointing to see such a small turnout for today’s Sunday Service.

Thank you to those who did attend, we appreciate your support.

Special thank you to Glenelg Brass Band for playing for the 99th year. What a huge achievement.

Thank you to Father Andrew Forder and of course our small but mighty army of volunteers who pulled it all together.

Poppies or Rosemary for ANZAC Day?

Both poppies and rosemary are symbols of remembrance and it's common to see both worn on Anzac Day, however rosemary is the traditional symbol of remembrance to wear on Anzac Day in Australia.

This is because rosemary grows wild on the Gallipoli peninsula, so it has special significance to Anzac Day.

It's also because the Australian Returned Soldiers and Sailors Imperial League (the forerunner to the RSL) passed a resolution to recognise the poppy as the international memorial flower to be worn on 11 November and so the poppy is formally associated with Remembrance Day.
