Our ANZAC Day is a fairly sombre reflection on the horrors of war and the
remembrance of those who didn't make it back home.  There's a lot of dawn
services and street parades for returned servicepeople.  It's also the only day
that the game of two-up (which was popular among WWI soldiers) is legal outside
of a casino, at least in the RSL (Returned Service League) clubs.


.... To be, or not to be, those are the parameters.
