A very lively morning briefing with this wee piwakawaka in our Memorial Gardens this morning. Apparently there was quite a lot of news to tell us. 😊

Our 2026 ANZAC display has a personal touch – office administrator Louise brought these examples of embroidery that were made by her great uncle, while recovering in England after being injured in WW1.
Embroidery was widely used as a form of therapy for British, Australian and New Zealand soldiers wounded in the war.
We are proud to have these beautiful examples of this work to display this ANZAC Day. "Lest we Forget"
