Today’s shot is of part of the war memorial at Bicheno. Here in Australia & New Zealand as well as several other countries it is Anzac Day and a dawn service would have been held at the memorial.

Anzac Day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by both Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. Anazac is an acroynm for Australian and new Zealand Army Corps and while the engagement itself on Gallipoli Peninsula quickly moved into statelmate and eventual retreat by the Anzacs it helped to forge the identities of the two young nations.
