I would like to encourage the local community to pause and reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who have defended our nation this Anzac Day. Anzac Day 2018 marks the 103rd anniversary of the landing at Anzac Cove and is an important day for communities to gather to commemorate our service men and women.

I have the unique opportunity to spend this Anzac day trekking the Kokoda trail. It will be an honour to walk in the footsteps of those who sacrificed so much for the freedom we all enjoy today.
This week I have sent out to everyone across the electorate an Anzac booklet recognising the significant contribution and sacrifice those from our region made all those years ago.
Anzac day is one of the best days we can honour the memory of our military’s men and woman, from all wars and conflicts, who’s efforts and sacrifices have secured the future and safety of this great country.
I would also like to encourage local veterans groups and community organisations to apply for the latest round of the Community War Memorials Fund (CWMF), which provides grants of up to $10,000 to protect, conserve and repair war memorials, statues, honour rolls and memorial halls.
Applications close on Anzac Day 2018. Applications for the Community War Memorial Fund can be accessed here. To find out what services are available visit www.centenaryofanzac.nsw.gov.au.
