For a small town Tennant Creek always seems to have an excellent turnout for ANZAC Day.

Community volunteers, service organisations, visiting serving Defence Force members, former service personnel and family members of those who had served gathered at the Transit Centre for the march to the RSL for the Main Service.

Unfortunately there was no fly over this year, but that did not take anything away from the march itself.

This year the Catafalque guard for the main service was provided by members of the Air Force, visiting from Tindal for the ceremony here.

The children from the Tennant Creek Primary School Choir repeated their performance of the national anthems in language and English at the close of the Main Service.

RSL President Pam Dillon and her committee did a wonderful job of making all the ANZAC Day commemorations and Roll Call Dinner another outstanding success.
