Gus Eagleton Rising before the first light of dawn on the 25th of April, the community of Barham gathers for the annual Barham-Koondrook Anzac Day parade. The crisp morning air carries a solemn sense of anticipation as the town prepares for the dawn service. Families and individuals make their way to the Barham Bridge that spans NSW/VIC, where the soft murmur of voices and the gentle rustling of flags create a reverent atmosphere.
