ANZAC DAY - Morning Service - Burleigh Heads

Rosemary is worn for the ANZACS
******
Col, Den, Frank and I attended the 9.30 ANZAC Service at Burleigh Heads. The Gold Coast Council sets up this lovely park for the service. The crosses with poppies represent each Burleigh Head digger who has died since World War 1.
The March - both the New Zealand and Australian Flags are flown.
And both anthems are sung, along with "God Save the Queen".
Kids used the giant Fig tree to get a better position.

Burleigh Beach after the Service
We then drove to Rainbow Bay and Kirra Beach to show Col and Den this area! Time to stop at the Currumbin Surf Lifesaving Club at Elephant Rock for a cold OJ.
