I was impressed with the Leeton community's conduct of Anzac Day, with children from all schools marching in uniform, while in their holiday period. The conduct of the Anzac Day service by the Leeton RSL Sub Branch was thorough, respectful and inclusive. Once I got my bearings, it was easy to get around Leeton.
