Our day begins with the journey of a trip to 5h the ANZAC Cove. On arrival we joined the end of a snaking line of buses that took 4hrs to get to it's first registration station. Here we were to check that the ballot for tickets and passport receiving a wrist band to confirm that they were right. Continuing on we Reached our second destination where we disembarked from the bus to walk a short distance up the road to catch a shuttle to be transfered to the website of the commemoration ceremony. Once here we had to compete with Thousands of other aussies who had already arrived and made Themselves comfy by lying out across the grass and taking up huge amounts of space. Eventually over 10,000 of us were manoeuvered around so that all people had a seat of some kind.
The ceremony consısted of various forms of entertainment, from, bands and singing to traditional Aboriginal cultural presentations and New Zealand. A short film called the 'telegram messenger' was shown to put us into the right head space in apprecfiating the fact that we now have our freedom due to the selfless actions of defense of all a rmed forces across the last 100 years and still continue to do so ..
