Anzac Day In Toolamba

The Toolamba community took advantage of the beautiful weather on ANZAC Day to come together to remember and recognise all who serve in the Australian armed forces. Hosted by the Toolamba Lions Club, the service was held outside the Community Hall beside the war memorial. The guest speaker was Warrant Officer Class One, Peter Morritt, who travelled down from Canberra.

School captains from Toolamba Primary School read ‘A Tribute to ANZAC Day’, the Toolamba Community Choir sang the New Zealand national anthem, and Mike Schulz led the crowd in the singing of Advance Australia Fair. Wreaths were laid by the Lions Club, Toolamba Wrens CWA, Toolamba CFA, WO1 Peter Morritt, Toolamba Primary School captains, Cllr Ben Ladson on behalf of Greater Shepparton City Council, and Doug Messer on behalf of Tatura RSL. After the service, people stayed around to catch up with friends and neighbours and enjoy morning tea or coffee and donuts.
