The misty dawn and hint of rain was hardly going to deter those who had fought in muddy fields, steaming jungles or sandy deserts in the name of our country.
Some 250 veterans and solemn celebrants turned out to this morning’s ANZAC Dawn Service and march past at Brunswick Heads.
Similar events were held across the Northern Rivers and around the country.
Whether or not you think war is ever justified, there is no doubting the bravery and valour of those who fought and sometimes sacrificed their lives for a cause they believed in.
