It makes you a proud Novocastrian when you witness the awesome crowd of between 45,000 and 50,000 people attend the dawn service. For our business at the Queens Wharf Hotel we are proud to say everyone behaved themselves with no incidents.
A special thanks should go to the organiser and unsung hero of the dawn service, president of the RSL, Ken Fayle, and everyone else who contributed, especially the police. It was also good to see the march numbers up as it had slowly diminished over the past few years. We may in the future get back to when the march started at the old post office. Well done all.
