Hari Ahad lepas pagi2 lagi kami dah bangun...hajat nak berjogging di Waikato River Walk...tapi sampai kat sana tengok ada perbarisan sempena Anzac Day...Anzac Day ialah hari untuk memperingati tentera2 yang telah terbunuh semasa peperangan dunia pertama dulu...ia diraikan di NZ dan Australia
Banyak jambangan2 bunga diletakkan di tugu khas dan antara nota2 yang ditulis ialah Thank You for Your surviving & macam2 lagilah
Apa itu Anzac Day....ni petikan yg saya ambil daripada internet :
Anzac Day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.[1] The acronym ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, whose soldiers were known as Anzacs. Anzac Day remains one of the most important national occasions of both Australia and New Zealand.[2] This is a rare instance of two sovereign countries not only sharing the same remembrance day, but making reference to both countries in its name.
Kami pun pusing2 dulu sehingga perbarisan selesai...dan lepas tu kami berenam berjalan menyusuri Sungai Waikato...memang cantik pemandangan di sini...sungai yang bersih berlatar belakangkan daun2 yang berwarna warni...ditambah pula dengan jambatan yang klasik...memang cantik...
Katanya penempatan awal orang2 Inggeris di Waikato ni bermula di sepanjang sungai inilah...tapi sebelum tu kaum Moari dah sampai dulu kat sini...
Tak pasti camne ceritanya...apa2 pun layannn gambar2 kami ni:
Daun berguguran di sana sini
