THOSE who rose early enough to pay their respects over the gentle sound of waves at Nobbys can tell you firsthand that there is something special in the air on Anzac Day.
The nation pauses to remember its military history, and most importantly to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It is also an important day to offer support to those who have served and are still with us, and to remember that not every aspect of war is left behind even for those who are lucky enough to return home.
