THE Scotts Head community came together for a somber Anzac Day dawn service on Friday, 25 April.
Due to the weather, the service was held at the village’s Reserve Hall.
Local Nicole Lane said the service had an “amazing turnout from the community and visitors”.
The service was hosted by the students from Scotts Head Public School, while military veteran, author and historian Trevor Lynch served as guest speaker.
Mr Lynch, who has written a book on the service of Nambucca Valley locals during the First World War, spoke of the role of the region in previous conflicts.
“Thank-you to the local businesses Scotts Head Liquor Store, Reflections Scotts Head, Club Scotts and Foodworks Macksville for supporting the BBQ cooked by Scotts Head RFS Brigade,” said Nicole.
“A new resident played bugle for the Last Post and Reveille, adding to the occasion.
“[Thanks to] Scotts Head Public School for once again presenting a great service and all the other volunteers involved on the day.”
Weather conditions permitting, the service will return to its usual venue about Little Beach in 2026.
Lest We Forget.
Fantastic, so happy the service continues. 15th year , very proud of that little community. Lest We Forget.
