Anzac Day
25 April

Exactly one year after the Australian and New Zealand forces were sent into battle at Gallipoli resulting in heavy losses, the 25 April was officially named ANZAC Day. The day was marked by ceremonies and services in Australia, a march through London and a Sports Day in the Australian camp in Egypt. From this time on Anzac Day was celebrated across Australia.

It wasn't until 1927 that every state observed a public holiday for the first time. By mid 1930's all the rituals we now associate with the day, dawn vigil, marches, memorial services, reunions, and "two up" games were firmly entrenched. In subsequent years the meaning of Anzac Day has broadened to include all Australian killed in military operations in which Australia has been involved.

The haunting melody, we know as the "The Last Post" used at military funerals has the words:-

The Last Post

Day is Done, Gone the sun,
From the lakes, From the hills, From the sky.
All is well, Safely rest, God is nigh

Fading light, Dims the sight, And a star.
Gems the sky, Gleaming bright, From afar
Drawing nigh, Falls the night

Thanks and praise, For our days,
Neath the sun, Neath the stars, Neath the sky
As we go, This we know, God is nigh

Flu Injections
Available at Doctors Surgery's "NOW"

The flu is more serious than a common cold. Many people with flu are forced to rest in bed for a week or more, which means they can't go to work or take care of their family or themself. For others who are considered "at risk" of complications from the flu, the illness can be much more serious and can lead to hospitalisation."At Risk" conditions include severe asthma, COPD (emphysema), diabetes, heart disease and chronic kidney disease and over 65 years old.

The vaccine is free under the National Immunisation Programme for people over 65 years and "At Risk" condition listed above.

You cannot get the flu from the vaccine. There is no live virus in the vaccine. You can spread flu before you feel any symptoms or even know that you have got the flu (one sneeze can spread flu up to one metre.)

See your doctor and ask about the best way for you to reduce the risk of the flu.
