The Northern Gold Coast once again hosted a number ANZAC Day ceremonies. Special thanks to North Gold Coast RSL Sub-Branch Inc, Rotary Club of Coomera Valley and our local schools for their involvement in today’s ceremonies. This year we celebrated 100 years anniversary of the unveiling of the Upper Coomera Cenotaph. (Official unveiling date 18th of May 1918.)

This weekend, please support our veterans, they will be selling ANZAC day collectables around shopping centres or if your after some lunch, come down to Bunnings Oxenford and grab a sausage on bread.

Well done Helensvale State High School for a wonderful ANZAC Day service and our local digger Matthew Ardley for your insightful speech. The spirit of service lives on through the next generation.

A bit of local history, our Upper Coomera Cenotaph celebrates 100 years.
