Anzac Day
Mr ANGUS (Forest Hill) (10:13): I was honoured to attend recently the Anzac Day events hosted by the Waverley RSL, including laying a wreath on behalf of the residents of the Forest Hill district. On Sunday, 24 April, there was a terrific march from the RSL to the cenotaph at the Monash Civic Centre, which included numerous cadets, the Melbourne High School Band and many Waverley RSL members, returned veterans and various dignitaries. This was followed by a very well attended commemoration service. The Anzac Day dawn service was also a very special occasion with a large crowd in attendance, many of whom returned to the RSL club for a traditional gunfire breakfast. My congratulations and thanks go to the Waverley RSL president, Michael Black, and the other committee members, together with all the RSL members and other volunteers who work so hard to enable these important commemorations to happen.
