Recognising the incredible sacrifice by servicemen and women over an extensive period of time, Geelong’s ANZAC Day guernsey honours all those brave individuals who have fought for our country.

The feature of this year’s guernsey is one of the most iconic parts of Australia; Gum Trees.

Gum Trees are referenced in the ANZAC story because eucalyptus leaves were sent home by soldiers to families, while also being burned by the soldiers to create the familiar smell of home.

They also symbolise the Australian spirit, with gum trees planted along ANZAC parade in Geelong and their scent being a strong reminder of home for those that served.
