The last year has been one of turmoil with the continuation of the war in the Ukraine and the expansion of conflict in the Middle East.

As with previous conflicts the costs to humanity will continue for many years.

In our time we have been blessed with long term peace and economic stability.

Our forebears have borne the cost to bring this peace and stability to our country.

On this ANZAC Day we pause and remember the sacrifice of those that have gone before us and ensure the freedoms that we now enjoy.

We remember those men and women from Barraba and district who served our country and paid the ultimate sacrifice.

We also remember those that continue to serve our country.

ANZAC Day is a celebration of the human spirit – mateship, resilience and compassion shown by ordinary people in extraordinary times.
