25.01.2022 Anzac Day might look and feel a little bit different this year but we can still pause to reflect and pay our respect to our amazing service men and woman who have served, and continue to serve our country. It was very touching this morning to see the glows from peoples driveways and hear the last post echo throughout Craigieburn. Physically distant, but connected through our ANZACs.... Lest we forget
