Anzac Day 2016

Working on the delivery of the Anzac memorial at Hallett Cove’s foreshore has been one of the most significant projects I’ve focused on during my time in public life. The 2015 inaugural Anzac Dawn Service was a moving event in a spectacular location and I hope you can join the Hallett Cove community at this years’ foreshore service organised by the Lions Club of Hallett Cove and Districts .

Guest speakers at the Dawn Service include Andrew Cook, Regimental Sergeant Major at Warradale Barracks and Corey Wingard MP. Local schools and churches will also be involved on the day. A breakfast will be held after the Dawn Service from 7.00 am at the Cove Sports and Community Club, 2 Oval Road, Hallett Cove. It will cost just $5 and includes bacon, eggs, hash browns, sausages, tea, and coffee. 

I hope you will join us in commemorating our fallen diggers on this important day of remembrance.

And so we gather to commemorate.
Not glorify.
To bow our heads. 
Not wave flags.
To honour.
​Not celebrate.

And above all, we give quiet thanks. 
For their sacrifice.
