How are you commemorating Anzac Day? What stories have been passed down through your whānau?
April 25 marks the 106-year anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, one of the most costly campaigns for the Allied Forces during World War I.
Anzac dawn and commemorative services up and down the country are scheduled to get underway after widespread cancellations last year, due to the nation being under Alert Level 4 restrictions.
The NZDF have advised of a reduced presence of military personnel at Anzac services due to deployment at MIQ facilities.
You can check out where the Anzac day services are on this interactive map on the RSA website.

"I was an unplanned pregnancy and brought to the SPCA to find a home.
I may look like a typical wild rabbit, but I can assure you I am not. My Mum was a domestic rabbit and super sweet. I am good with people I know, and am still young and still learning. I have an inquisitive nature and would love a home with people who will have me around them, either as a solely indoor rabbit, or mostly indoors. I will need a large outdoor area with a weatherproof hutch or shelter for days when the weather is nice. I will need to be inside as part of the family at night, so a hutch or area inside with you is important. I would also like a female rabbit for company, so if you have a lonely rabbit maybe we could be friends?
The first Australians will be arriving in Wellington today. Have you any plans to go to Australia? Where would you go?

Purchased this as the underlay in our old carpet was non-existent. This mat helped a lot, really comfortable underfoot. Regularly cleaned but has been in storage for a few months now.
Dimensions 120cm x 170cm
Pick up from Aotea, Porirua
Has been well looked after and cared for, but in storage for a couple of months.
Colourwise, it looks like a luscious lawn and the kids have always enjoyed lying on it and playing on it.
Dimensions - 2.2m x 1.5m
