Anzac

Carol from Hokowhitu

What has happened to ANZAC, driving around Palmy for 2 hours, we saw no display or shows of support for this week's commemorations. Our house was the only one, that had a display, 4 had flags. We came from Westport, 3 years ago, and the small town would put us to shame, every third house had a display and all the inhabitants turned out in their droves for the 6 am ceremony.
