Calling all Kiwis and Aussies
The call had gone out, and on Sunday 25 April those from Down Under gathered in Leipzig’s Rosental Park in the name of ANZAC day. ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) stands for the day shared by our countries in remembrance of those who have lost their lives in war. The day marks the landing of the combined forces at Gallipoli in World War I. Wikipedia will give you more.
The sun shone like a trooper on Sunday and a great picnic – with ANZAC biccies, chocolate lamingtons and lots of carrot cake! – was had by the 25-30 kindred spirits. Because we can’t just nip home it was a great dose of all that we are. Thanks go to Mandy for rounding us all up, and we hope that there’ll be more to come – there was talk of a lakeside bbq. So, if you’re from one or the other of Germany’s current dream destinations, and fancy donning your jandals and togs and having a cold one by the barbie, drop us an email: info@leipzig-zeitgeist.de.
