Cairns 2010 ANZAC Day Parade Images

Each year I try to photography an ANZAC Day parade if I am in Australia. I have finally got around to uploading some of my pictures from the Cairns 2010 ANZAC day parade.

ANZAC Day is commemorated by Australia and New Zealand on 25 April every year.

Initially honouring members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I, the day has expanded to include other conflicts such as World War 2, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan.

The images can be viewed in my archive, or at my ANZAC Day Images photography project site.

The last few years have been smaller parades. I am hoping to photograph the larger Melbourne parade in 2011, and expand the coverage to include things that occur around the parade like the traditional AFL game between Collingwood and Essendon football clubs.
