Whilst Australia gathers to remember past and present service men & women in a different way than we are used to, we know the ANZAC spirit is as alive as ever. In lieu of gathering with friends and family to pay your respects, why not bake the famous and delicious The Country Women’s Association of Victoria Inc. – CWA ANZAC biscuits at home! Use the hashtag #cwaofvicanzac on Facebook to share your creations.
Head to the CWA website to read about the contribution of members during World War II.
