We start the day with a dawn service followed by a large breakfast and coffee laced with a drop of Rum. It is followed by a parade to the cenotaph and laying of wreaths.

May I dare to suggest that you obtain an Australian and New Zealand flag from our nearest consulate and fly them during the road run.
