It's ANZAC Day

I awoke to the sound of a pipe band warming up, it happens just once a year when we celebrate ANZAC Day.  We all jumped out of bed, dressed hurriedly and raced out the gate to watch the start of our local parade and then followed them by foot to  the formal service held in our village.  I came across these two calm horses waiting to re-enact the Australian Lighthorse Troops.  This ANZAC Day is the last one we have a school aged child marching with their school in the parade and the first one we have a child of ours currently serving in the Australian Defence Force.

The Pickled Octopus for lunch

We had a new car delivered last week so we decided to take it for a run last Saturday and we ended up at this fabulous little restaurant overlooking the water.  The Pickled Octopus at Tuross Head is a great place to enjoy fresh local seafood and a relaxed meal.  Dear Husband and I both had beer battered fish and chips with a great little garden salad.  It's also licensed which is a bonus.  You can also have fish and chips at Red Box Pizza next door and sit right down at the waters edge, great for the local fishers who can pull up in their tinny and grab a bite to eat.
