Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comI went into Bunnings today just as the 11am Remembrance Day bugle started (before the minute's silence).
Most people stopped and went silent but I had to say to a few people "It's 11 o'clock" a few times before they got it and went silent.
It was then eerily quiet in Bunnings.

Viewed ABC , the pomp etc in Canberra.
Don’t know if I liked it or not, reckon the couple of minutes of tractors being shut down during silage making with Dad and his old mates ( middle of last century), had more meaning.
Though ANZAC Hill in Alice was inspiring .

Not normally on a bus so this may happen each year. At 11 the bus and another one near by both pulled into the gutter and parked for the minute then started up again once silence was over

From the story...
Edit: From google street view, the tree.Working from a rough pencil sketch, he and the late Hugh Tareha created a "digger" in a slouch hat facing towards Sydney with his kiwi cobber in a lemon-squeezer pointing the other way towards Napier.

That is a magnificent work Windsock. During my peregrinations around your country and this one , I reckon Kiwis are much more inclusive of Australia in regard to our commonality in uniform ,than the other way round. That is slowly changing now but some instances I have seen have been shameful, so full marks to those intrepid folk of Rissington.
