Nice! Would like to do that around NZ and then Europe around TdF time.
As of next year, both kids will be in high school (in NSW Year 7 of 12 is high school commencement, where most kids turn 12 or 13) and therefore we don't have to burn part of our annual leave on minding the little bastards. I like taking our holidays out of school break in order to avoid peak pricing. Bloody rort.
Once ours are finished their high school exams I think we're free, or at least free enough.

Did you consider telling them nothing and just letting them see a for sale sign on the lawn?

Google is not being my friend at the moment, can any Aussie ferners refer me to where I can find a list of Anzac services around Melbourne? Can only find the main one at the Shrine of remembrance.

For those in London
5.00am: Dawn Service, Australian War Memorial, Hyde Park Corner
The main service will take place in front of the Australian War Memorial at Hyde Park Corner. At the conclusion of the service wreaths will then also be laid at the New Zealand Memorial. The service lasts approximately 45 minutes and is a non-ticketed event open to the public.
Gates open at 4am for the Dawn Service. Enter from the Green Park side of Hyde Park Corner. Please keep bags to a minimum, and do not bring any large bags, to avoid delays. Full security checks will be in place.Probably want to arrive by 4.30am at latest if you want to get inside the cordon. The security in usually through the Wellington Arch.
For those that haven't been the Oz Memorial is in the dip and that means that if you are back from the cordon (ie don't go through security) it is difficult to see anything at all or even hear most of it.
The Cenotaph and Westminster Abbey services are ticketed and you had to apply some time ago.

Happy ANZAC Day all.
Respects were paid the traditional solemn way this morning.
This afternoon we've closed our street. Beers and food.
