April 10th, 2026, marks the 85th anniversary of the Siege of Tobruk, Australia’s first major battle of the Second World War.

Today we reflect on not only a historic battle of the Second World War, but the character of Australian soldiers who endured it.

From April to December 1941, Australian soldiers endured a relentless siege from a German-Italian army commanded by General Erwin Rommel. The ordeal was marked by constant artillery fire, aerial bombardment, and the unyielding desert climate.

Reflecting on the Siege of Tobruk reminds us that it was more than a battle; it was a powerful demonstration of how community can be forged in the most challenging circumstances, and a lasting reminder that, above all, we must look out for one another.

🌺𝐒𝐢𝐱 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 — 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡! 🌺

We are incredibly proud to share the completed poppy blankets that will be on display at our Nelson Bay War Memorial this ANZAC Day, created by the dedicated and talented ladies of the Nelson Bay RSL Auxiliary.

For the past six years, these amazing women have knitted and crocheted hundreds of poppies in their own time, all in honour of our fallen veterans. Each poppy takes approximately 25 minutes to make — that's an extraordinary 367 hours of knitting and crocheting across 10 dedicated workers. The result is nothing short of breathtaking. 🔴💜

A huge thank you also goes to BJC Covers for their incredible sewing skills in preparing the backing panels — your contribution helped bring this vision to life!

This is what community looks like. We are so proud of each and every one of you. 🙏
