There is something deeply moving when standing upon home soil before the break of dawn on our day of national remembrance.  On this day, with the sound of the surf breaking, it was humbling to have attended the Dawn Service at Nobbys Beach in Newcastle New South Wales.

Around 50,000 people came solemnly together for the Dawn Service under a beautiful Australian sky to mark the 101^st anniversary of the Gallipoli conflict.  On this day we remember the great sacrifice, the suffering and the immense contribution of all those who have served.
