Today was Anzac day. Unfortunately, I missed the morning's Anzac Day dawn service due to sickness and cold weather. But I attended the marches from CBD to the Shrine of Remembrance.
It was such an event. The media was boardcasted surprisingly up to 42,000 attendances, although the lingering mist was a barrier early in the morning. The large public crowd in Melbourne was beyond the expectations of servicing and ex-service men and women "while those gathered in Canberra heard that services this year were to remember the ordinary person" the Age reported.
To me this event carries Australian pure history that can not be touched by its multicultural
cultures living here. I, as a non-Australian, was impressed by the respect that they have for those who scarified their lives 96 years ago at the down of the anniversary day.
