ANZAC Day 2020 is going to be very different for all of us but here is some ideas to help you commemorate this special day.
With thanks to local artist, Kylie Fogarty we have a poppy colouring in page to decorate windows and a stencil which can be used to use chalk to decorate your driveway as a field of poppies.
With ANZAC Day services not open to the public, consider holding ANZAC Day 2020 in your Driveway
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic this event will not be open to the public. It will be broadcast live across Australia by the ABC and streamed online, 5:30am – 6am, 25th April 2020.
We encourage you to stand out on your driveway with a lit candle and perhaps a wreath and commemorate this occasion. See here for a great art project for the kids, ANZAC lantern.

Get baking some ANZAC biscuits with recipes thanks to Bizzy Lizzy’s Good Things. Legend has it that the biscuits were sent overseas by wives and mothers to soldiers in the War because the ingredients didn’t readily spoil and the biscuits kept well during transportation. See here from Liz Anzac Biscuits – a snippet of history and a handful of the best recipes Her favourite recipe is below or see here for Carmen Brown’s Honey ANZAC Biscuit recipe.

MACADAMIA ANZAC BISCUITS
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup raw caster sugar
3/4 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup Australian macadamia nuts, chopped
4-5 tablespoons golden syrup
135g unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 tablespoon boiling water
Preheat oven to 150 or 160 degrees C. Combine the oats, flour, sugar, coconut and macadamias in a bowl. Set aside. In a small saucepan melt the combined golden syrup and butter. Mix the bicarbonate of soda and boiling water, add to the melted syrup and butter and stir into the dry ingredients. Drop rounded neat soup spoonfuls of mixture onto lined baking trays and flatten down carefully, using your fingertips. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
