new zealand veterans in victoria get new home


    On the 12th of February 2010, the New Zealand Sub-Branch in Victoria, was officially welcomed to their new home at Caulfield RSL. This was a momentous occasion for the NZ Sub-Branch as we have not had an official home for some years. The Caulfield RSL has now become the only true "ANZAC" RSL in Victoria. The Caulfield RSL has thrown their support behind the NZ Sub-Branch by planning to erect a flag pole to permanently fly the New Zealand flag and also adding the NZ Defence Force logo to their Wall of Remembrance. We are also attending the City of Glen Eira ANZAC march as "The ANZAC's" with both Sub-Branches combining for the day and both Executives will lead the March. This is to be held on the 18th of April 2010 at 2pm from Caulfield Park.

    This is a huge step forward for the NZ Sub-Branch in Victoria and thanks to the support of the NZ Consul General, Rob Hole, the future is bright.
