A visit to the Shrine wasn’t on Zoe’s holiday list, but an early finish at the Aquarium gave us the opportunity.
No photo credit to me for this one – A Zoe Selfie on the balcony of the Shrine of Remembrance.

ANZAC IS NOT MERELY ABOUT LOSS. IT IS ABOUT COURAGE
AND ENDURANCE, AND DUTY, AND LOVE OF COUNTRY,
AND MATESHIP, AND GOOD HUMOUR,
AND THE SURVIVAL OF A SENSE OF SELF-WORTH,
AND DECENCY IN THE FACE OF DREADFUL ODDS
The inscription on the western wall of the Shrine.:
“LET ALL MEN KNOW THAT THIS IS HOLY GROUND. THIS SHRINE, ESTABLISHED IN THE HEARTS OF MEN AS ON THE SOLID EARTH, COMMEMORATES A PEOPLE’S FORTITUDE AND SACRIFICE. YE THEREFORE THAT COME AFTER, GIVE REMEMBRANCE.“
