2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>by Martin Stern<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>About 800 people gathered at Boondooma Homestead on Thursday to commemorate Anzac Day.<\/p>\n<p>Although Boondooma Homestead is not officially listed as an official Anzac Day venue, it always draws a large audience with a mixture of locals and people attending the Spirit of the Bush Balladeers weekend.<\/p>\n<p>The morning started early with a reading of bush poetry, with an emphasis on Australians at war.<\/p>\n<p>The service started at 9:00am with a march led by the Durong Green Frogs Girl Guides.<\/p>\n<p>Compere John Major spoke about his trip to Gallipoli and read one of his bush verses.<\/p>\n<p>Bridget O\u2019Shannessy, 13, a niece of Cr Kathy Duff, then sang the National Anthem.<\/p>\n<p>Uncle Allan Gill, chairman of the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/murriajabree.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Murriajabree Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Association<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0acknowledged the rural and Aboriginal serviceman that are part of the Anzac legacy and gave a brief history of Aboriginal servicemen.<\/p>\n<p>Bush balladeer Tom McIvor sang and Greg Bain read a verse about Australian servicemen.<\/p>\n<p>The Last Post was played and a minute&#8217;s silence observed before the laying of the wreaths.<\/p>\n<p>The Anzac Day service at Boondooma is becoming more popular each year with the idyllic bush setting, bush verse and music and great comradeship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a
