Anzac Day at the Pyramids

Its a long way from Anzac Cove - and even Egypt for that matter - but the 20 metre granite pyramid at Henty Estate, Ballandean will form the backdrop for an unusual Anzac Day service on the Granite Belt this year .

Beginning at 5.15pm on Saturday 25 April, the memorial service will be conducted by pupils from neighbouring Ballandean State School. The programme includes a lunch option at Mason's winery before the service, or to stay for an informal supper afterwards. The programme is organised by the Brisbane Variety Club as part of their weekend safari to Stanthorpe with proceeds going to a number of local children charities across the Granite Belt.
