22.01.2022 When times are tough, Australians have always relied on the distinctive qualities of mateship, humour, ingenuity, courage and endurance to get us through. Known as the #ANZACSpirit, these five qualities have defined Australians ever since the first troops landed on the beaches of Gallipoli in World War I. Given the current situation, ANZAC Day 2020 will be very different to previous years. The RSL have put together a list of ways in which we can still acknowledge ANZAC Day an...d remember our servicemen and women. Show your support #ANZACSpirit https://www.rslnsw.org.au/anzac-spirit/

17.01.2022 More than 100 years ago, at 11am on 11 November 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell silent after four years of the most brutal war the world had seen. In the four years of that war, more than 330,000 Australians served overseas, and over 60,000 had died. Today, on 11 November we mark that anniversary, and remember all those who sacrificed so much for us all, both in WWI, and all the wars, conflicts and operations that have happened since, and still continue today.... We particularly honour and celebrate those among our residents, and their families, who are veterans of conflicts, and hope that you will join us in paying our respects and express our gratitude for all they have given.

On this day, and always, we recognise and remember the services and sacrifice of our veterans and serving personnel, in particular those who are residents, team members and family. #anzacday #lestweforget
