Commemorating Anzac Day from Home
The dedication and sacrifice of New Zealand and Australia's servicemen and women are testament to the Anzac spirit and ability to adapt in times of great crisis.
Although we cannot commemorate Anzac Day with the traditional services and parades this year, we know many New Zealanders will want to mark the occasion from home.
This new webpage brings you a range of ways to commemorate and remember from your bubble. We hope you’ll join us on this significant day in New Zealand’s history.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
