- ANZAC Day - We remember -
30.04.2003 20:23:24
Record crowds turned out in the Hunter to honour those who have given their lives and those who have returned from wars since that infamous day in Gallipoli when the ANZAC legend was born.
The 88th ANZAC Day commemorations were marked by a greater appreciation of war with Australian troops half way across the world in Iraq serving for our country.

A crowd of thousands gathered at 5am on Nobbys Beach for the biggest dawn service ever to be held in Newcastle. The mood was emotional and moving as tributes and prayers were offered for all those who gave their lives and served in wars past and present.
A large number of children and young people attended services throughout the region this year.
