Council funding boost for Light on the Water
ANZAC Eve 2008
Port Adelaide Enfield Council has given a grant of $3000 towards the costs of staging the Light on the Water tribute to merchant seamen on Anzac Eve next year.
Organiser John Williams said the success of Light on the Water on April 24 had led to it becoming an annual Anzac event.
An application has also been lodged with the Department of Veterans Affairs for an additional $3000 to expand the event to include more South Australian schools.
With special emphasis on the men who rowed the troops ashore for the 1915 Gallipoli landing, the event involves families in making paper lifeboats.
