🪻🌳🪻Under the Jacaranda’s lavender hue,
Pawsome pups gather, a joyful crew,
🐕Tails wagging, 🐾paws dancing in bloom,
Beneath purple skies, they shake off the gloom.
Gentle blossoms fall like velvet rain,
Soft petals carpet their playful domain.
Sunlight filters through branches so high,
Casting shades of blue on each eager eye,
Happy hearts, loyal friends by their side,
Under Jacarandas, where joy and love collide🐕🐕🦺🪻🌳🪻💜.

🌺 ANZAC Day 🌺 is a solemn occasion of national remembrance, honoring the bravery and sacrifice of those who defended, served, and laid down their lives during times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping missions. Despite the tragic reality that humanity has yet to fully learn its lessons, with wars and atrocities against civilians persisting, today we stand together to pay tribute to all veterans, active service members, and those who have bravely served, been injured, or lost their lives in the pursuit of defending our freedoms.
Today we also wish to honour the animals who stood alongside their human counterparts during these times.
