The Yarra Junction community march down the highway. (Callum Ludwig: 474258)
Fallen honoured By Dongyun Kwon, Callum Ludwig and Oliver Winn Thousands of people across the Yarra Valley joined the Anzac Day services to commemorate those who served Australia in different wars. The day started early in Healesville and Seville where people turned up at the dawn service started at 5.45am respectively in each town on Friday 25 April.
The Seville community gathered around the newly-restored Seville War Memorial and the Healesville community rocked up outside of the Healesville RSL building. Wandin’s morning Anzac Day service commenced at 8.30am at the Wandin Cenotaph led by Wandin Rotarian and former serviceman Brian Hodgson. Mr Hodgson said attendees have no idea how much pleasure it gives the rotary club to see so many people here joining them to cel-
ebrate Anzac Day. “Anzac Day celebrates the emergence of Australia as a fighting nation and it recognises the sacrifice made by many since then to secure the freedom we all enjoy today,” he said. “Our rotary club is proud to be associated with this service, Rotary has long been associated with the quest for freedom, and that’s illustrated by involvement with the formation of the United Nations.”
Yarra Glen RSL led the Memorial March through the main street of the town at 10.15am and the morning service commenced at 10.30am at the cenotaph while Warburton and Yarra Junction Anzac Day commemorative marches kicked off at 10.30am respectively heading to the town’s cenotaph where their morning service was held.
