Mr MORRIS (Mornington) — On Anzac Day I had the customary privilege of participating in the ceremony at Mornington’s Memorial Park.
Memorial Park is truly a monument to those who served, and those who died, on our behalf. Developed under the enthusiastic and entirely voluntary direction of the late Bill Coventry, it provides a focus to remember those who have served with Australian forces in every conflict, big and small, across the globe.
The park was immaculately prepared, as always, by the Mornington Peninsula Shire and its contractors, and provided a fitting venue for the crowds that attended.
My congratulations go to Colin Fisher, who served as master of ceremonies in his usual exemplary manner, and to Mornington RSL for once again providing the opportunity for present‑day Australians to acknowledge those who served and returned, and those who gave their lives for the future of our nation.
