Anzac Day in Albany

Anzac Day

Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand.  ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.  Originally, 25 April every year was to honor the  ANZACs who fought at Gallipoli in the Ottoman Empire during World War I.  
  In Western Australia the ANZACs departed from the shores of Albany to go to Gallipoli.
We were in Albany on April 25, this year!  We had a great time watching the local parade and celebrations.

all the school children wear uniforms and hats!
