It was estimated that well over 1000 people attended the dawn service this morning and a much smaller march at the 11 am service.
It was a chilly morning and the little nip of rum certainly was welcome.

Thank you to Diggers Football Club for providing a sausage sizzle, coffee and tea and bickies.

The weather started with a fiery glow to brilliant sunshine.

The Pambula Surf Lifesaving Club were in the lake on their surfboats behind the cenotaph with their oars raised ( see photo).

This was the first ANZAC Day without Allan Browning our Sub Branch President who passed away last year and we now have a new President Loretta Walsh ex Navy retired.

Where else would you want to spend ANZAC Day than Merimbula.

Followed by a sumptuous lunch put on by Derek and his staff at Merimbula RSL.
I took lots of photos, anyone you know?

Merimbula Sub Branch meets at Merimbula RSL Club every 3rd Monday at 2pm. Veterans, ex veterans and affiliated members are very welcome.

We pay tribute to the remarkable deeds and sacrifices of animals in times of war.
Throughout history, animals have served as indispensable assets in various roles, including transport, messengers, protectors, mascots, support animals, and cherished pets. Their vital contributions have left an indelible mark on every conflict involving Australians.
