Each year the Australian War Memorial attracts 28 000 people to their Anzac Day dawn service. Gerard Pratt is part of the team that puts this event together. His job sees him interact with important dignitaries and VIPs – from the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to the Governor-General of Australia.

Link to Ron's interview Flag Maker
We take it for granted that the Australian flag will be hung all around the country on Anzac Day. But have you ever thought about how flags are made? Ron Strachan has 25 years experience under his belt as one of the Northern Territory’s leading flag makers and he explains the ins and outs of flag design.

Link to Rod's interview Music Director
Anzac Day parades and services across the country would not be the same without music. Much of this is provided by bands of the Australian Army Band Corps. Rod Mason is the music director for the Australian Defence Force Academy Band and believes that a career as a musician in Australia’s Defence Force is the best gig in town.
