Thank you to all the members of the Shipley, Blackheath/Mt Victoria Rural Fire Brigade, Medlow Bath Rural Fire Brigade and Megalong Valley Rural Fire Brigades for once again turning up to support the Anzac Day services at Blackheath today. Your presence is deeply valued in the community.
Supporting Anzac Day at a local level is vital. It reinforces the connection between service, sacrifice and community—values that both the Anzac tradition and the Rural Fire Service embody. Seeing local brigades represented alongside those who serve their country reminds us that service is not just something of the past, but something that continues every day through volunteers who stand ready to protect their neighbours. Your commitment helps ensure these commemorations remain grounded within our community, are passed on to younger generations, and honour those that have served or who are still serving with the dignity and respect they deserve.
May we never forget those who serve.
Lest we forget.
