ANZACS honoured in Wakatipu (Tue, 24th Apr 2012)
ANZAC Day 2012 will be commemorated with traditional morning services in Arrowtown and Queenstown this year as well as two performances of World War Two themed concert 'Music While You Work' which will be staged in the Queenstown Memorial Hall at 2.30 and 7.30pm on April 25. Traditionally held later than in other centres across New Zealand, Wakatipu-based ANZAC Day services attract varied crowds which usually include a mixture of Kiwis, Australians and other visitors to the area. If you've never been or are interested in learning more about the ANZACS and the significance of the day for New Zealand and Australia as a country head along and join in - everyone is welcome. The team at Thunder Jet will be operating as usual on ANZAC Day so if you fancy taking a spin with us come on down to the jetty.
- QUEENSTOWN: Parade will assemble 9.15am Memorial Gates on Marine Parade for 9.30am march to Memorial Hall. Service to begin 10am Queenstown Memorial Hall.
- ARROWTOWN: RSA members gather Athenaeum Hall 10am. Public gather from 10.15am - service starts 10.30am. Following the service there will be a march to the Cenotaph to lay wreaths.
