We were amazed at how resilient and imaginative the community had been in the lead-up to ANZAC Day. Children at home making poppies, young people responding to the community spirit by placing candles along their driveways and older residents dressing their windows.

We thank the community both young and old for supporting the veterans that proudly wore their medals and stood with pride to privately honour their mates.

There were no gatherings, but there were social media messages and phone calls of support across the veteran community. Thank you.

Whilst there were no services this year, many listened in to the locally produced broadcast on 2AY and we are indebted to David Brunton for his outstanding community contribution in making the broadcast possible.

There was no street march down Dean Street but we still managed to have the flyover of the World War II aircraft and the haunting sound of the helicopter overhead and we thank both pilots for their support.

We are a resilient bunch we Aussies, and I believe that we will work together to defeat this faceless enemy and win the battle. Lest We Forget.

History is constantly being rewritten. I have a saying that history is only as accurate as the last person that wrote it down, and I have to correct two mistakes I made in Saturday's Border Mail article about Anzac Day in Wodonga.

Firstly the B&B Café was opposite the old Shire Hall, not The Terminus Hotel. Secondly, the first dawn service to be conducted in Wodonga was on 25 April 1961, not 1925. We do try our best to record Wodonga's history accurately.

Have you discovered the historic jigsaw puzzles I have started to put on the Wodonga Historical Society Facebook page?

A great way to spend some time while you are confined to home.

The use of the coronavirus tracking app should be embraced by all in our region.

If the app is well participated in by Australians, it should be pathway to ease restrictions soon.

To say I was left unimpressed by Mick Keelty's latest report would be an understatement.

I had steam coming out my ears when I realised his first recommendation that "the MDBA should undertake further analysis of the causes of reduced inflows, specifically from the northern Basin and how this is impacting state water shares", completely ignored the 50 per cent reduction of inflows from the all important upper Murray and Victorian catchments, which supply the majority of Murray River inflows.

I think Mr Keelty has much to learn.

But what can you expect from a supposed 'independent' water policy novice, embedded with the MDBA, who have their fingerprints all over this report.
