ANZAC walk


Michael's parents came to stay recently and on a wonderful, sunny winter's day we got to show off and enjoy a new local landmark - the ANZAC memorial walk.




The walk commemorates the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli, as well as the commencement of steel making in Newcastle.  It is a tribute to the local men and women who served their community and country.

The walk is situated on a long cliff top and features steel silhouettes of soldiers inscribed with nearly 4,000 family names of the regions men and women enlisted in World War I.








The coastline setting is truly beautiful and the day we even saw some whales heading north.
