23.01.2022 On this ANZAC Day we remember. We acknowledge the service and sacrifice of all Tasmanians in times of war conflict and peacekeeping. We think of the tragedy and sadness that comes with war. We hold dear our families and think of the suffering and loss that they had to deal with. We remember all the soldiers commemorated on the Soldiers Memorial Avenue and we acknowledge the effort their families and loved ones made to create this very special memorial.

02.01.2022 FOSMA held a small display near the Bridge of Remembrance for Anzac Day. Wonderful to see so many people using the bridge to move between the Cenotaph and the Avenue. A bit windy but generally fine and mild. Thanks to all those who came for a chat or bought a commemorative Centenary badge.
