While Australians talk about stories about ANZAC and all those who have served the country, RSL veterans support groups say friendship is a highlight of the stories


ANZAC Day commemoration usually starts with the early morning Dawn Service ceremony and is followed by a large breakfast together with colleagues in arms.

But this year is different because of the COVID-19 outbreak.

As a result of the implementation of social constraints, annual celebrations and opportunities to visit friends cannot be done this year.
