AUSTRALIA on Anzac Day & Two-Up: Honouring Mateship the Aussie Way – with Lumpy’s 🌿 Every year on April 25th, Aussies come together to commemorate Anzac Day—a day of remembrance, reflection, and national pride. At Lumpy’s Nursery & Landscape Yard, we pause too, not just to honour those who served, but to celebrate the unique Aussie traditions that have grown from their legacy. One of those traditions?

Yesterday, as I stepped out of Woolworths in Tuncurry with a few groceries in hand, I noticed a sizable Winnebago parked beside my car. A family of seven—two parents and five young children—were gathered around, each child adorable and full of energy. We exchanged warm smiles, and I observed them studying a map, appearing a bit uncertain. The mother approached me and, in limited English, asked for help locating a laundromat. I informed her of one on the main street in Tuncurry but was unsure of its operating hours, given it was around 4:45 PM.
