This year certainly is going fast as Anzac Day is already upon us. The public holiday, which honours and commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders who have served and/or died in wars and conflicts, takes place annually on April 25.
Of course, most Aussies will head to a dawn service or an Anzac Day march on the day but some may want to duck down to their local Coles to pick up some groceries (or a packet of Anzac biscuits).
